In March 2018, Huckabee and Coats struck a local marketing agreement to have the four Pine Bluff stations he owned be operated by PB Radio, which is owned by Mike and Alpha Horne. PB Radio also has the option of purchasing them.{{cite news|work=Inside Radio|url=http://www.insideradio.com/free/mike-huckabee-lmas-arkansas-stations-to-pb-radio/article_614c47c4-3784-11e8-bfc2-db544d2c97aa.html|date=April 3, 2018|title=Mike Huckabee LMAs Arkansas Stations To PB Radio.|accessdate=March 26, 2019}}
