 Later in the 1980s, WJMN was sold to Midwest Radio and Television (owned by the Murphy and McNally families), joining WCCO-AM-TV in Minneapolis–Saint Paul.By 1992, when new FCC rules allowed networks to own more stations, the CBS Corporation decided to acquire WJMN, as part of its concurrent purchase of WFRV (both were originally set to be sold off as CBS acquired Midwest Radio and Television simply to acquire the WCCO stations), and convert it to CBS.An affiliation swap with WLUC-TV occurred on February 24, 1992, with WJMN joining CBS and WLUC adding a primary affiliation with ABC alongside its secondary relationship with NBC.
