In 2000, shortly after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) revised its media ownership rules to permit television station duopolies in markets with at least eight full-power stations, Clear Channel purchased KASN from Mercury Broadcasting, creating the first such duopoly in the Little Rock market. The following year, KLRT vacated the Markham Street studios and moved into the Clear Channel Metroplex (a converted former Sam's Club) farther southeast on Colonel Glenn Road (east of Interstate 430) in West Little Rock, where all of Clear Channel's Central Arkansas properties were consolidated. KLRT's original facility was razed shortly after the station moved out of the building (a local branch of National Bank of Arkansas, an office of its mortgage division, and a David's Burgers restaurant now occupy the former studio site).
