[2] KEGX owners New Northwest Broadcasters in 2010 defaulted and this station along with the entire Tri-Cities, WA cluster went into receivership.

KEGX (and the other stations) continued to operate in that arrangement until Townsquare media announced purchase of the frequency on December 1, 2010.

In July 2011 the FCC blocked Townsquare's acquisition of the former New Northwest operation in Kennewick, including KEGX.

Ingstad Radio Washington agreed to purchase — at a discount — more than $16 million in debt owed by Seattle-based New Northwest Broadcasters from a creditor, CIT Group.

A noteworthy short lived incarnation was an attempt to operate a CHR format and directly compete with then KIOK (OK95).
