In October 2007, a deal was reached for KID-FM to be acquired by GAP Broadcasting II LLC (Samuel Weller, president) from Clear Channel Communications as part of a 57 station deal with a total reported sale price of $74.78 million. [3] What eventually became GapWest Broadcasting was folded into Townsquare Media on August 13, 2010; [4] Townsquare, in turn, sold its Idaho Falls–Pocatello stations to Rich Broadcasting in 2011.
