The corporate shake-up at IBC caused the joint RSW-TSW administration to fail past the 1992 rounds. On September 30, 1992, both providers were shut down. The following day, Seashore started broadcasting on the Channel 7 network initiated in 1960 (Seashore Television) and on the IBC Radio 2 network (Seashore Radio). The Seashore Group was the owner of the new stations.

Seashore was in debt and in January 1995, it announced a sale to the IBC Group. In June 1995, the deal was finalized and Seashore Radio and Seashore Television were replaced by SouthwestLive.
