One week ago RBR+TVBR shared the news that the Kathy Lau and John Exline-led Red River Broadcast Co. has signed off the sale of KVRR-15 in Fargo and full-time satellites KJRR-7 in Jamestown, N.D.; KBRR-10 in Thief River Falls, Minn.; and FOX-affiliated sibling KQDS-21 in Duluth, Minn.-Superior, Wisc., to Coastal Television.

That deal came after a June 2023 announcement that, after more than 18 months of waiting for FCC action, Forum Communications Company said it was longer buying the stations.

We now know what Red River is pocketing from the new deal, and how it compares to the transaction that never came to pass.
