The sale of KCPW-AM to a Catholic broadcasting group in California may be in trouble.

The deal has yet to close, eight months after trustees of Community Wireless of Park City signed a letter of intent to sell the assets of the Salt Lake City-based station to IHR Educational Broadcasting for $1.3 million.

The deal has languished even as Community Wireless pulled off the sale of the KCPW-FM station, its National Public Radio-affiliated station in September. Wasatch Public Media of Salt Lake bought KCPW-FM for $2.4 million.

"The IHR sale is not dead, but it is stalled," Joe Wrona, a Community Wireless trustee and spokesman, said in an e-mail Thursday. Wrona said Community Wireless should know in about two weeks if the sale will go through.

Lori Brown, general manager of Immaculate Heart Radio in Fair Oaks, Calif., declined to comment.

"We don't have anything to share right now," she said.

In March, Community Wireless announced it would sell KCPW-AM and KCPW-FM in order to concentrate on KPCW-FM, which serves the Park City area.

IHR is a nonprofit lay Catholic group and operates a network of 21 stations in California and New Mexico. IHR's Web site say it is "dedicated to sharing the heart of the Christian faith and changing lives through radio airwaves."
