the station, which signed on the air in 1992, is now owned by coastal broadcasting of larose. in july 2005, citadel broadcasting entered into a $6,000,000 agreement to buy the station. however, after hurricane katrina, they had backed out of the purchase. in fact, a new tower had been built to put a better signal into new orleans, and was turned on the week before katrina hit. speculation was that citadel was going to either sign on a rockin' country format onto this signal (which eventually was put on 106.7) or move the format of 106.7 the end to 100.3.
