 The sale did not include WFBL but it did give the network rights to share WFBL's transmitter and gave Family Life right of first refusal to purchase WFBL and match any bid for the station; although because Family Life owned no AM stations and promptly traded away the other Syracuse station included in the deal to Craig Fox, such a sale was deemed unlikely.On September 3, 2016 WFBL went silent due to insufficient funds to correct equipment problems.The station resumed broadcasting on August 7, 2017, with a 1950s and 1960s Oldies format.
