Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
Radio Divestiture
In the fourth quarter of 2017, we began the process to divest our radio business. Our radio business consists of 34 radio stations in eight markets. We have classified the radio segment as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and reported its results as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
During the second and third quarters of 2018, we entered into definitive agreements to sell our 34 radio stations. We closed on the sale of our Tulsa radio stations on October 1, 2018 and closed on the sales of our Milwaukee, Knoxville, Omaha, Springfield and Wichita radio stations on November 1, 2018. Consideration received from these sales agreements totaled $75.5 million. The sales transactions for the eight remaining stations in Boise and Tucson are expected to close in December of 2018, for total consideration received of $8 million.
Operating results of our discontinued radio operations were as follows:

We also entered into separate Local Marketing Agreements (“LMA”) with the acquirer of the Tulsa, OK radio stations and the acquirer of the Wichita, KS, Springfield, MO, Omaha, NE, and Knoxville, TN radio stations. Under the terms of these agreements, the acquiring entities pay us a monthly LMA fee and also reimburse us for certain station expenses, as defined in the agreements, in exchange for the right to program and sell advertising from the stations' inventory of broadcast time. The LMA with the acquirer of the Tulsa, OK radio stations was effective from July 30, 2018 until the closing of the transaction. The other LMA became effective on September 1, 2018. Discontinued operating revenues include LMA fees totaling $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
