Cumulus is selling and swapping several stations. The deal involves Entercom and the Educational Media Foundation - the organization that runs the K-LOVE and Air 1 religious networks.

In New York City Entercom gets Country formatted 94.7 NASH-FM.

EMF gets Hot Adult Contemporary formatted WPLJ 95.5 FM. K-Love is already on in NYC on 96.7 WKLV, which doesn't cover the entire market. Most likely K-LOVE will move to 95.5 and 96.7 will flip to Air 1, which is currently on 96.7's HD2 sub channel.

In Springfield, Mass Entercom gets Adult Contemporary Formatted 94.7 WMAS (licensed to Enfield, CT) and WHLL 1450 along with its FM translator. WHLL and its FM Translator is doing Classic Country as NASH ICON.

In Washington DC EMF gets Hot Adult Contemporary MIX 107.3 WRQX.

In Atlanta EMF gets Talk Radio 106.7 WYAY.

In San Jose EMF gets 97.7 KFFG.

In Indianapolis, Indiana Cumulus is getting the 3 stations currently owned by Entercom.

In Syracuse, NY EMF gets Classic Rocker 105.9 The Rebel WXTL. This will be an upgrade for L-LOVE which is currently on a translator on 101.3 and WGKV 101.7  in Pulaski, NY. Will EMF flip 101.3/101.7 to Air 1 or will they sell it? Stay tuned.

In Savannah, GA EMF gets Hot Adult Contemporary 102.1 The Sound WZAT. This will bring K-LOVE to Savannah for the first time.
