And yes, there are a ton of requests for "Waivers" to get around ownership caps. So far I'm not sure if the FCC approved any of them yet, but I've seen a few where one company would own almost the entire market. Wausau is an example with Midwest trying to buy NRG Media.
K-LOVE's goal is a full signal for the K-LOVE network in all of the top markets. Forgot what the number was. They are almost there. Air1 usually gets put on the station K-LOVE was previously on if it had a weaker signal. This is under the current leadership. Their last CEO was much stricter with the employees and was not buying as many stations. He was being cheaper. Their longest running CEO Mike Novak (Who started there doing afternoons) used to have more of a strategy when buying stations. They didn't just buy everything like they do now. They looked for ways to expand without competing with the local non commercial directly. Not anymore.
