Aloha Station Trust
Aloha Station Trust, LLC is a privately owned trust company that owns radio and television stations previously owned by Clear Channel Communications.
With the buyout in 2007, Clear Channel sold off media outlets to comply with FCC ownership limits that will no longer be grandfathered to them. Many stations agreed to be sold, or have been sold, to companies like Frequency License LLC, Providence Equity Partners, Cumulus Media, Blue Point Media and Santa Barbara Community Broadcasting.
In 2011 they attempted to purchase some 100 radio stations in a $19 billion deal.
Jeanette Tully, a director of Journal Communications Inc., was initially the sole member of the trust until her death in 2018. After that, Barry Drake's moribund broadcasting company Backyard Broadcasting took over trusteeship of the Aloha Station Trust and two other iHeartMedia divestiture.Stations
