Only as far back as those records exist in electronic form.  If it
wasn't current in 1981, when the FCC first moved most of its broadcast
records into a database, then it's not in CDBS now.

You can find current ownership information by searching for the
biennial ownership reports (fourth option on the CDBS main menu page
at <http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/cdbs_pa.htm>).
