THE PALM BEACH POST TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1995 11B 2 Martin AM radio stations sold Tax-Exempt Municipal Bond Issue dPMEdD smnE 7.00 Yield to Maturity By MITCH McKENNEY Palm Beach Post Staff Writer "Two Martin County radio stations, WSTU-AM 1450 and WHLG-FM 102.3, are being sold to Palm Beach Radio Broadcasting the National Enquirer-controlled group that operates Indian-town-licensed WPBZ 103.1. WSTU, an oldies station licensed to Stuart, and Jensen Beach-licensed WHLG, which plays adult contemporary music, will keep their staffs and formats, said WPBZ general manager Gary Hess, who holds a 20 percent stake in Palm Beach Radio. Peter Callahan, chief executive officer of National Enquirer and Star publisher American Media holds 60 percent, while Vice Chairman Maynard Rabinowitz holds 20 percent, Hess said. "We could start lots of rumors about format changes," Hess said, though he said there was no need because the Glascock family, which bought WSTU in 1969, "did a really good job." The family founded WHLG in 1980 with call letters in memory of Harvey L. Glascock.

Federal Communications Commission approval of the sale is expected in three months. American Radio Systems, which in the past 15 months has bought WIRK, WBZT and WKGR, was involved in the negotiations and is financing the sales of WSTU and WHLG, Hess said. The purchase price was not disclosed. At the same time American bought WKGR in February for $19 million, it paid $10 million for WPBZ and "assigned" it to Palm Beach Radio. With Palm Beach Radio operating three such stations, American Radio is poised to retrieve them and have six stations in the market if the rules ever allow it.

The FCC limits ownership to two AMs and two FMs in the same market, though expected telecommunications reform has prompted a flurry of station sales. 6.98 Current Yield Subject to Amt.

said its direct sales unit will expand internationally by going into Mexico. Rexall Showcase International sells the company's vitamins and other nutritional products through independent distributors, similar to Amway Corp. So far, the division has operated only in the U.S. The company will set up a network of distributors in Mexico later this year and plans to expand into Korea in 1996. Damon DeSantis, Rexall's president, made the announcement Monday during a speech before the Council for Responsible Nutrition and the Direct Selling Association in Washington.

"Spreading democracy in Mexico is creating a more favorable climate for our type of industry," he said. Rexall, based in Boca Raton, also announced several new products, including Vascular Complete, for the vascular system; Traum-Ex, a natural homeopathic pain remedy; Women's Formula 1, a nutritional complex with non-toxic carbonyl iron for women of child-bearing age; and Women's Formula 2, a vitamin and mineral complex with calcium for post-menopausal women. The bulk of Rexall's sales are in retail stores. Several years ago it created the direct selling division and now calls it its fastest-growing business. Rexall Showcase made up about 23 percent of the company's $126.4 million in 1994 sales.

That's expected to increase, a spokesman for the company said. In the fiscal third quarter, ended May 31, direct sales soared 98 percent. DeSantis predicts that Korea will be another booming market for direct sales. PCs To advertise computers and software, call (407) 820-4300 or (800) 432-7595, ext. 4300.
