[edit] Stations
KARN-FM in Sheridan, AR was originally on the list, but was later swapped back to Citadel for KOKY. KARN (AM) and KPZK (AM), both in Little Rock, AR, remained with Citadel even though the FM stations with those call signs were initially transferred to the trust and KPZK-FM remains there.
Last Bastion swapped with Citadel once more in January 2008. KNEK-FM in Washington, LA was swapped with KRDJ in New Iberia, LA in the Lafayette, LA market.
