In a corporate deal, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts took over Wometco along with a couple of other broadcasting companies. In 1985, WSNL and WWHT discontinued the general entertainment and subscription programming in favor of music videos, with the parent station becoming known as "U-68". By the fall of 1986, when KKR sold its stations to a variety of owners, WWHT and WSNL were sold to the Home Shopping Network (HSN), WSNL-TV became WHSI and WWHT-TV became WHSE. HSN programming ran on both stations for the next fifteen years.
