WOAC-TV, now re-lettered to WRLM, was the first station sold to Tri-State Christian Television. WRAY was later sold to the same group. KCNS & WMFP were sold to NRJ TV, LLC. Currently, WSAH is under the trust with Lee Shubert as the trustee and looking for sale. Arthur Liu also owns a large radio group, but KHIZ will be his only remaining TV station. http://www.mrbi.net/tvgroup.htmhttp://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/2010/12/28/48013/multicultural-handing-over-wsah-to-trustee
