In 1989, a deal was reached to sell the station as a distress sale to Hispanic Christian Communications Network, which proposed a Spanish-language Christian station; the commission dismissed the proposal the next year because a federal appeals court had ruled that policy unconstitutional. In 1991, after the Supreme Court of the United States upheld the policy, the FCC determined that the station had not been actually built and thus would not have been eligible anyway. The construction permit was ultimately revoked by the FCC on November 19, 1992. A final review was denied by the commission in 1994.
