Adams Communications bought the Pilot in 1988, but sold it to a group backed by the New York businessman Elliot Stein the following year. The Glendale News Press was acquired a week later. Times Mirror bought the newspaper chain in 1993. On September 7, 2016, the Huntington Beach Independent and the Laguna Beach Coastline Pilot merged with the Daily Pilot.
