Just to name a few stations that have maintained the same format or otherwise adjusted their format directions that have changed ownership over the course of time. Note: I don't have all the dates for each one. Rhythmics can be included as well.

KMEL San Francisco (1987-present) - Century (until 1992; owned this station from its AOR and top 40 days) > Evergreen (1992-97) > Chancellor (97-98) > AMFM (98-00) > CC (00-present)
KBLX San Francisco - Inner City (1979-2012) > Entercom (2012-present)
KMJQ Houston - Keymarket (till 1988) > Noble (1988-94) > CC (94-00) > Radio One (00-present)
WVEE Atlanta - Plough > Summit > Granum > Infinity/CBS Radio
WKYS DC - NBC > Albimar > Radio One
WHTA Atlanta - Radio One from its inception in 1995
KKDA Dallas - Service Broadcasting from its inception in 1976
KKBT Los Angeles - Evergreen (till 1997) > Chancellor (97-98) > AMFM (98-00) > Radio One (2000-08)
KPWR LA and WQHT NYC - both under Emmis from their inceptions in 1986
 
KSJM Winfield/Wichita KS (2000-2004) Sherman Broadcasting > (2004-2007) joint share Sherman Broadcasting/Carter Broadcasting Kansas City

The station transmitter was located in Winfield KS 50 miles from Wichita. Carter and Sherman agree to sell the station due to declining ratings and revenue. Now it airs a Country format again
