On August 12, 2000, Chris-Craft Industries sold its television stations to the Fox Television Stations subsidiary of News Corporation for $5.5 billion.

The UPN affiliation later moved to Fredericksburg-licensed KBEJ (channel 2, now MyNetworkTV affiliate KCWX), which signed on the air in August 2000. At the time, Chris-Craft had owned a 50% interest in UPN. When KRRT (channel 35, now KMYS) dropped its affiliation with the United Paramount Network ( UPN) to join The WB in January 1998, KMOL began carrying UPN programming during the overnight hours. Chris-Craft Industries gained majority ownership of United in 1981, merging the group with BHC Communications (the owners of KCOP in Los Angeles and KPTV in Portland, Oregon). The sale to Fox was completed on November 5, 1975, with the new owners officially taking control at 12:01 a.m. Avco had sold WOAI radio to local startup Clear Channel Communications earlier in 1974, and the radio station retained the WOAI call letters.

The change was brought on by an FCC regulation in place at that time that prohibited non commonly-owned TV and radio stations in the same market from sharing the same base call sign. On December 11, 1974, coinciding with the station's 25th anniversary, WOAI-TV changed its call letters to KMOL-TV. On November 25, 1974, Avco announced that 20th Century Fox, through its United Television subsidiary, would be acquiring WOAI-TV. Crosley would change its name to Avco Broadcasting Corporation effective January 17, 1966. The FCC approved the sale on Septem and Crosley's ownership became effective at midnight on October 27. On May 27, 1965, Crosley Broadcasting announced that it was purchasing the WOAI stations for $12 million. The two stations continued to share ABC programming until KONO-TV (channel 12, now KSAT-TV) signed on in January 1957. WOAI lost the CBS and DuMont affiliations to KEYL (channel 5, now KENS) when that station signed on in February 1950. But at first, it also carried programming from the three other major networks of the time: CBS, ABC and DuMont. WOAI-TV has been an NBC affiliate since its sign-on, due to WOAI (AM)'s longtime affiliation with the NBC Red Network. Since WOAI Radio was already on the air, it kept its W call letters and when it put a TV station on the air, it shared that call sign. In 1923, the dividing line was changed to the Mississippi River. WOAI-TV and WOAI radio are among the few broadcast stations located west of the Mississippi River that have a call sign beginning with "W." In the early days of broadcasting, most Central Time Zone states were in the "W" territory. It was the first television station in the San Antonio market, owned by Southland Industries along with AM 1200 WOAI.
