More or less, but off by about 5 years.  I think he bought it originally in
'84, left it CHR for a couple years (I have an aircheck of them doing CHR
as WZON), then went all-heavy metal all the time a couple years later.  He
sold it in the early 90s to some non-profit group who took it talk (if SK
hadn't done so already), but they defaulted on the payments so SK got it
back.  Not sure when he bought WKIT.
