KTSA-AM (San Antonio, TX)

KTSA (550 AM) is a radio station based in San Antonio, Texas, that features a news-talk format. The station was purchased by BMP Radio in August 2006. On July 27, 2009, Border Media Partners, the parent company, was taken over by its lenders in a process described as "amicable" in an FCC filing (source: radioink.com). This takeover occurred after Border Media failed to make a debt payment for two years (source: San Antonio Express-News). Consequently, in 2013, BMP sold KTSA to L&L Broadcasting, which is now known as Alpha Media.
