 KROY-KROI was acquired in 1978 by Jonsson Broadcasting Corporation, with the two stations fetching $1.65 million and $1.1 million, respectively.While separately programmed as an album-oriented rock station, KROI became KROY-FM on April 23, 1979, as the separate KROI designation confused advertisers.In 1981, KROY shifted to adult contemporary, seeking to capture the aging baby boomer audience.
