KDIA-AM is being purchased from Ragan Henry, the Philadelphia-based owner of a nationwide group of black-oriented radio stations, said Aleta Carpenter, KDIA general manager. She said the sale could be completed as early as next week. But the mayor said that he and Brown are still in negotiations with Henry and a closing date has not been scheduled. KDIA plays mostly oldies, classic rhythm and blues, and gospel music. This article is copyright 1992 The Los Angeles Times Home Edition.
