In January 1997, Community Pacific Broadcasting reached an agreement to sell KASH to Capstar Broadcasting subsidiary Community Acquisition Company, Inc. The sale was approved by the FCC on March 13, 1997, and the deal completed on July 14, 1997. This began a series of internal moves that saw control of the license passed from Capstar Broadcasting Partnert, L.P., to Capstar Broadcasting Corporation effective July 21, 1997, and on to Capstar Radio Broadcasting Partners, Inc., on July 31, 1997, and Pacific Star Communications, Inc., in August 1997. (Capstar Broadcasting was itself acquired by Clear Channel Communications in October 1999.)
