In August 1989, King's Crown Broadcasting attempted to sell KCIN and sister station KATJ-FM (100.7 FM) to Victor Valley Broadcasting (a different entity from the aforementioned company) for $1.36 million. The potential buyer was a company led by Kenneth Devine, Peter Trosclair, and John Binsfield, all partners in a New Orleans-based engineering company.[5] However, that transaction was unsuccessful. Crown then struck a deal with Island Broadcasting Corporation, headed by Scott Brady and Richard Sadowsky, in October 1990 to purchase the combo for $1.575 million.[6][7] The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the transfer of both stations' licenses to the new owner December 21.[8]
