The Last Bastion Station Trust, LLC is a privately owned trust company that temporarily owns 6 radio stations previously owned by Citadel Broadcasting. Citadel absorbed ABC Radio as well as 22 radio stations (not including ESPN Radio and Radio Disney O&O affiliates) on June 12, 2007 from The Walt Disney Company, making Citadel Broadcasting the 3rd largest radio company in the United States. However, in order to comply with the FCC ownership limitations, Citadel sold off the following radio stations.

KARN-FM in Sheridan, AR was originally on the list, but was later swapped back to Citadel for KOKY. KARN 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.
