End of simulcast

In the summer of 2013 owner Blueberry Broadcasting dismantled the network, selling off WFAU (which became WJYE in 2014 and WHTP in 2020), switching WRKD (by then known as WVOM) to a simulcast of WVOM-FM/WVQM and WIGY (which would change call letters to WQSK) to a simulcast of WQSS/WKSQ.
