Blackhawk Broadcasting, headed by former Fox affiliates board chairman Brian Brady, has agreed to acquire KYMA Yuma. Yuma Broadcasting Company is the seller. James Rogers, head of Intermountain West, owns Yuma Broadcasting. Intermountain's other holdings include KSNV Las Vegas and KRNV Reno.

Terms of the deal, which is subject to regulatory approval, were not divulged.

KYMA is the NBC affiliate in DMA No. 165. Last month, another Brady-run broadcast outfit, Broadcasting Communications, agreed to acquire a trio of stations in Medford-Klamath Falls, Ore.

Kalil & Co. brokered both deals.
