[edit] History prior to Jacor's ownership

My initial attempts at web searches about the history of this station prior to the mid-1990s have been hard to make sense of. It's easy to trace the ownership to Jacor and confirm that it was broadcasting in the mid- to late-1990s, but the station's history under Citicasters is unclear.

There are hints that Citicasters may have been constructing the station when Jacor bought it, or that it may have simply owned an FCC construction permit at that time. Or possibly, the station could have been broadcasting prior to Jacor's acquisition, in which case ownership might date back to Great American communications/Broadcasting, the subsidiary of the Cincinnati insurance company that bought Taft Broadcasting in the 1980s and emerged from bankruptcy as Citicasters. If a 105.9 station was broadcasting in the 1980s, it could even date back to Taft Broadcasting itself. 68.167.253.78 (talk) 04:20, 22 March 2008 (UTC).
