"Townsquare Media (formerly Regent Communications until 2010) is an American radio network and media company based in Greenwich, Connecticut. The company started in radio and expanded into digital media toward the end of the 2000s, starting with the acquisition of the MOG Music Network. As of 2016, Townsquare was the third-largest AM–FM operator in the country, owning over 310 radio stations in 66 markets."
I'm sure Learfield has connections with companies larger than Townsquare, but since Townsquare already has a presence here and an infrastructure, it's likely Learfield will at least look into a relationship with them before pursuing other avenues. I would think a relationship with Learfield will cause Townsquare to start pouring more revenue into this market as a return on investment.
When Learfield and IMG merge, I'm guessing they'll have more than 300 D-1 schools.
And that includes most of the SBC.
Majority of the southland teams don't use an IMG service (SFA & Ryan street are the only ones that do) all the SBC has such a service we were lagging behind

I think Mizzou was Learfield's first client.
wait no more free Ragin Cajun network? People are upset.
You're not paying for one sporting event, you're trying to get the whole hog. Think about it: why would Delta Media pay just for football and let the competition (Townsquare) take baseball and the rest?
That being said, they might just stick with Townsquare because it's established as the "flagship". Would it be the smart move to go with 103.7 the Game/Delta Media? Of course, considering that all but one station in that cluster is on the FM dial! Now why am I talking about the FM dial? Well, you've got Cajuns softball, baseball, and Astros baseball will all be going on at the same time during the months of April and May (hopefully well into June on a consistent basis). You'll need to use some of their other stations to broadcast these events (97.7 the Rewind has previously aired Astros games when LSU sports pre-empts it so that's taken care of). The big question is what station in the Delta Media cluster will air Cajuns softball?
While we're all speculating about this, keep in mind that this will probably be resolved once the calendar flips over to June (giving Delta Media/Townsquare adequate time to promote/prepare for the changes).
I don't believe any media deal will hinge on broadcasting UL softball. If UL can double their income for the local broadcast rights and keep a presence in the current markets, that would be of greater importance than assuring that every softball game will be broadcasted. I'm not certain Delta Media can do either, but they do talk a good game.
If you can't hear a station after sunset, that is a result of a stations fcc license requirements and dedicated frequency. That's where audio streaming comes in through an app. The development of a decent app to stream UL sports is something Learfield can bring to the table.
