 Two years later, Mehan sold the station to the Midnight Sun Broadcasting Company, which divested itself of KABI, for $50,000.The entire Midnight Sun group, including AM-TV combos in Anchorage and Fairbanks, was sold for $1.2 million in 1960 to All-Alaska Broadcasters, which became the new Midnight Sun Broadcasters in 1962.The station was finally approved in 1965 for the daytime power increase to 5,000 watts that had first been pursued 12 years earlier, though it would have to replace its tower after it was toppled in a Thanksgiving Day wind storm in 1968.
