The second blow came in 1992 when WKDQ dumped its Adult Contemporary/Oldies hybrid format in favor of country, immediately taking numbers from WYNG.
A third blow came when, in a desperate move, WYNG dumped its Wing 105 moniker and started calling itself Y105 and trying to target younger listeners.
Clear Channel elected to move WYNG to the 94.9 frequency which was a 50 kW facility, but the transmitter was further north in Mount Carmel, Illinois, and ratings plummeted.
Meanwhile, Clear Channel decided to compete with Evansville's adult contemporary powerhouse and consistent ratings leader WIKY-FM.
The change took place at 3PM that day; the last song on Superhits 105.3 WJLT was It's the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine) by R.E.M, and ESPN 105.3 launched with the premiere of "Ford & O'Bryan", the only local show on 105.3.
