Townsquare Media

[3] Bill Stakelin later shared chief status in the company with Jacobs, and the two established JS Communications, later selling Regent to Jacor in 1997.

The filing plan made Oaktree Capital Management the majority owner of Regent after the bankruptcy and gave the old shareholders 12.8 cents per share.

[7] After the privatization, the company was renamed Townsquare Media by its co-founders Steven Price, Stuart Rosenstein, Alex Berkett, Dhruv Prasad, and Scott Schatz.

The network was part of MOG, a streaming music service that had previously reached a deal to be acquired by Beats Electronics.

[15][16][17][18] In June 2013, Townsquare announced it would acquire a number of music-related blogs from AOL, including The Boombox, The Boot, and Noisecreep, along with ComicsAlliance.

[19] On August 29, 2013, it was announced that Cumulus would purchase Dial Global, after the programming syndication service was showing signs of financial distress in late 2012.

To make the sale work, Cumulus once again made a pair of station deals with Townsquare Media; the first deal sent 53 stations in Danbury, CT; Rockford, IL; Cedar Rapids, IA; Quad Cities, IA–IL; Waterloo, IA; Portland, ME; Battle Creek, MI; Kalamazoo, MI; Lansing, MI; Faribault, MN; Rochester, MN; and Portsmouth, NH, to Townsquare for $238 million.
