On January 31, 1929 ownership was transferred from C. L. Carrell to the Topeka Broadcasting Association, Inc. It was organized by United States Senator Arthur Capper, who also owned the "Capital". Capper died in 1951. In 1957, his family sold the "Daily Capital" and WIBW AM-TV to Stauffer Publications, owner of Topeka's other newspaper, the "Topeka State Journal". WIBW's main studios for decades were located on Wanamaker Road in west Topeka, near the Menninger Clinic. The programming there included live country music at 6:00 a.m. as late as the 1970s. The building housing those studios was severely damaged by fire January 5, 2012.
