Citadel Communications Corporation
 NEWS FROM THE STANDARD
When the Piper Pays
Feb 07 2000 12:00 AM PST

 PROFILE
Midsize is a prize for radio broadcaster Citadel Communications. The company owns and operates nearly 200 commercial radio stations in 40 midsized markets such as Providence, Rhode Island; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Its stations broadcast in a variety of formats, including country, rock, oldies, news/talk, and sports. Through numerous acquisitions (86 stations in 2000 alone), Citadel has build clusters of stations in more than 30 of its markets. Those acquisitions, however, have also left the company saddled with debt. In 2001 the company was purchased by investment firm Forstmann Little & Co.
