Company and Sinclair Telecable (no relation to Sinclair Broadcast Group). LBJ left radio ownership after six decades by selling its majority interest in the partnership to Emmis Communications in 2004, a $105 million purchase. The new partnership was named Emmis Austin Radio Broadcasting Co., LP. Bob FM In September 2004, KEYI-FM flipped to adult hits as "Bob FM", changing its call letters to KBPA on September 8. Sinclair Telecable acquired Emmis's stake in its Austin radio stations in June 2019 for $39.3 million. The FCC approved the transaction, requiring a waiver since it maintained a grandfathered cluster not permissible under current radio ownership rules. Tower relocation and city of license change In early 2019, Emmis filed with the Federal Communications Commission for a construction permit to relocate the KBPA transmitter site to Austin from its previous location about 30 miles southwest of Austin. The power was decreased to 46,000 watts from the previous 100,000 watts. The station's city of license changed from San Marcos to Austin. The move was part of a multi-station allocation shuffle led by the Educational Media Foundation allowing EMF to add a signal serving the San Antonio metropolitan area on 103.7 MHz, licensed to Balcones Heights. The FCC approved the changes in January 2020. The transmitter relocation and city of license change were completed on March 23, 2021.
