In the fall of 1992, after being unable to turn a profit as an independent station and to focus on its profitable NBC affiliates in Nevada, Sunbelt took KKTO-TV dark, with the station's strongest programming (including The Disney Afternoon) moving to KGSW-TV. Later that fall, the channel 2 license was sold to the Providence Journal Company, which moved the KGSW intellectual unit to channel 2 and surrendered its old channel 14 license to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on April 5, 1993. (Channel 14 is now occupied by KLUZ-TV, a Univision affiliate.) Two months earlier, on February 2, 1993, the station's call letters were changed to KASA-TV, based on the Spanish word casa ("home"). Raycom Media purchased KASA-TV and NBC affiliate KHNL (VHF channel 13) in Honolulu in 1999. On July 27, 2006, Raycom announced that LIN Media, owner of CBS affiliate KRQE, was purchasing KASA for $55 million. The takeover took effect on September 15, 2006.
