In 1985, Capital Cities announced that it would buy the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC Network]], including its television and radio stations.<ref>Kleinfield, N.R.

(A broadcasting company could only own one AM and one FM station in each [[media market|market]].) The WPAT stations were sold to [[Park Communications]], owned by Roy H. Park.<ref>[https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1985/BC-1985-08-12.pdf#page=29 "Breaking up and breaking records."] ''Broadcasting'', August 12, 1985, pg. 29.</ref>
