3. | Acquisition and Divestiture
On May 1, 2023, we and Marquee Broadcasting, Inc. (“Marquee”) completed transactions in which we sold television station KNIN (FOX) in the Boise, Idaho market (DMA 102) for $6 million, and purchased television station WPGA (MeTV) in the Macon, Georgia market (DMA 126) for $6 million. The following table summarizes the preliminary values of the assets acquired of WPGA (in millions):
Property and equipment and other assets |  | $ | 2 |
Broadcast licenses |  |  | 4 |
Total |  | $ | 6 |
These amounts are based upon management’s preliminary estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. In determining the preliminary fair value of the acquired assets, the fair values were determined based on, among other factors, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates, and estimated discount rates. Property and equipment are recorded at their fair value and are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 40 years. In this transaction an immaterial amount of goodwill was acquired. The sale of television station KNIN resulted in a loss on disposal of $14 million.
