Channel 17 changed hands, but not calls, several more times in the years that followed, including a stint as an owned-and-operated part of the very short-lived Overmyer Network, and was eventually sold to Tribune in 1992 for $19 million, a far cry from the $200,000 Katz and Stevens paid for it way back when.
