As part of owner Rocking M Media's bankruptcy reorganization, in which 12 stations in Kansas would be auctioned off to new owners, it was announced on October 31, 2022 that Hutchinson-based Ad Astra Per Aspera Broadcasting was the winning bidder for KSOB, KNNS and Salina-based KVOB for $40,000. While the bankruptcy court has approved the purchase, the sale must be filed to the FCC for approval. Ahead of the closure of the sale, Ad Astra Per Aspera has applied for new KGBK call letters for the station, which took effect on March 1, 2023.[4][5][6]
