Throughout its existence it served as an affiliate for the Buffalo Bills Radio Network and carried local high school sports as well.

Grant blamed a declining Western New York economy, WSPQ's small broadcast range (even its daytime signal only covered a mostly rural area spanning 20 miles from the transmitter), increasing expenses and a 2015 transformer failure for the station's lack of profitability.

In the filing, the station noted that it had lost $73,000 between the 2015 transmitter failure and its cessation of broadcasting.

The revived station was to carry The True Oldies Channel and be targeted at the Buffalo market, with the intent of adding an FM translator.

Under the terms of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Grant had until the end of 2018 to find another buyer and put the station back on the air before its license would be forfeited.
