One part of the burned-out studio that owner Robert Hartshorn did not replace was the old automated machine, nicknamed "Fred", which apparently continued to work right up until it was destroyed in the fire.

"Fred" was not popular with listeners, who preferred live talent, unlike the system, which used pre-recorded shows from the west coast.

Work soon began on new permanent facilities for the station, with Hartshorn serving as part of the construction crew at the new site next to the transmitter on Pooler Road.

That November, WGIX and WIGS joined sister station WSLB (1400 Ogdensburg) in a new oldies-formatted trimulcast as "FSR - Full-Service Radio."

WIGS signed off permanently in the mid-1990s, and the two remaining stations continued a simulcast until WSLB became "Talk 1400" in the early part of this decade.

On Tuesday, March 9, 2010, the station switched formats to country music, re-branding itself as WLFK, "95-3 The Wolf", and changing the callsign to match.
