In June 2004, while battling with health problems and age, Stanley Coning, the owner, operator, chief engineer and announcer of "Radio Ranch 1130 WCTM", announced his official retirement from radio broadcasting and bid farewell to his many listeners.
Stanley Coning died on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2010, at his Eaton residence and is buried with his wife Helen in neighboring West Alexandria.
The transmitter site and three towers (home built by Coning himself) remain located in the Preble County rural community of Glenwood, just east of Eaton.
Since the purchase of the Eaton AM outlet, WEDI (through originator WBZI) revived the WCTM tradition serving its eastern Indiana listeners airing Brownfield Network programming in addition to the Ohio Ag Net (the direct descendant of the original ABN) for Ohio farmers.
The call sign WEDI had once been assigned to the passenger liner SS America of the United States Lines.
