[7] Three months after signing on, Haley bought all of the shares he did not already own in Pacific States Radio from various Corvallis-area investors.

[10] That prompted changes and caused a trio of men involved with KJR in Seattle to take an option on the Corvalis station.

[11] No transaction panned out with that group, but Pacific States Radio was sold in 1956 to Portland appliance dealer John G.

[12] A year later, Severtson sold KRUL to Benton Broadcasters, Inc., a group of three men involved with other Oregon radio stations.

[13] After taking control, Benton Broadcasters changed KRUL's call sign to its present KLOO, for "locally owned and operated".

In late 1977, Houglum concluded arrangements to sell KLOO-AM-FM to Medford–based California–Oregon Broadcasting Inc., remaining on air to host his "Toast and Coffee" program.

[20] By that time, KLOO AM was airing a full service format, featuring middle of the road music with news, sports and talk.

Smullin owned KLOO and KFAT until he sold the pair in 1995 to Oregon Trail Productions of Broomfield, Colorado.
