In the fall of 1992, after KKTO-TV (channel 2) went dark, Providence Journal acquired its programming and integrated it into KGSW's lineup.

Shortly afterward, it acquired the KKTO license as well, and on April 5, 1993, KGSW moved to channel 2 and changed call letters to KASA-TV.

In 1997, Paxson Communications was awarded a construction permit for a new station on channel 14; on April 8, 1999, it signed on as KAPX, airing programming from the family-oriented Pax TV (later i: Independent Television, now Ion Television) from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., along with infomercials during the day and religious programming from The Worship Network during the overnight hours.
