Bob,

Here is what I have:

        1/1/57:   Purchased by WDIA Inc. - Sonderling Broadcasting.
      3/25/80:   Purchased by Viacom International Inc.
      2/26/85:   Purchased by Adams Communications Corp.
        5/2/88:   Purchased by Ragan Henry Commmunications. ($13 mil, with FM).
                  :   Purchased by Clear Channel Communications

KDIA seems to have been sold to NEWSystems Group.

Did the "DIA" have a special meaning???
