[1] Licensed to Utica, New York, United States, the station, established in 1948 as WRUN, was last owned by Leatherstocking Media Group, Inc.,[2] and simulcast with WFBL in Syracuse until going off the air in 2013.
[16] Forever sold its stations in the market to Regent Communications in 1999,[17] and the following year, after a brief period simulcasting erstwhile competitor WIBX, WRUN began an adult standards format.
[18] The format continued until 2005; that year, the station was sold to WAMC, who switched it to a relay of its public radio network.
[20] When WRUN-FM finally signed on in December 2008,[21] it determined that the AM station was no longer necessary, and sold it to Digital Radio Broadcasting in exchange for a translator in Cooperstown the following year.
[29] The station ultimately did not sign back on within a year of going silent, and as a result its license was canceled by the Federal Communications Commission on August 11, 2014.
