The new owner was Prime Time of Alaska, a company owned by business people in Washington state.

[5] Prime Time owned a country music station in Everett, Washington, KWYZ.

KIAK 970 AM began to focus more on classic country hits and added several new talk programs.

[13] That set off a lengthy process that included three different abortive sale attempts of the company's four Alaska properties.

While a settlement was reached, the FCC conditioned the sale on the license renewals, and Olympia was anxious to sell the stations to satisfy its creditors.

[14] The next sale attempt, to Alpha & Beta Broadcasting, was canceled by the company's receiver in early 1992 due to a conflict between creditor Barclays and lender Greyhound Financial.

[15] In January 1993, the receiver proposed to sell the stations to Community Pacific Broadcasting for $1.2 million.

[18] In 1997, Comco sold its entire station portfolio, including KIAK-AM-FM and KAKQ-FM in Fairbanks, to Capstar Broadcasting Partners.

[20] KFBX began to concentrate on airing syndicated talk shows from Premiere Networks, also owned by iHeartMedia.
