Columbus LPFMs

Not something I have seen come up here but anyone know if the following LPFM's even attempt to operate anymore?

Every time I am in NE Columbus, OH I never hear 102.1 WCRM-LP on air.

Also have not seen signs of 96.7 WJVG-LP Columbus, OH being on air anymore.

Neither show Silent STA's or license cancelations on the FCCData site.
 
I haven't heard WJVG in several months. Not that I listened often, but when I am up north, if I hear anything on 96.7 it's Marysville. I have checked 96.7 while driving up 71 a few times in the Cooke Road/East North Broadway area and WJVG was nowhere to be found during the times of day it used to broadcast.

As much as I hate to say because I am sure there were people that station served, it's not a huge loss, not when by the time you'd hit the 161/71 exit or 270/71 interchange Marysville would be clobbering WJVG (only a few miles north of their tower) ... and similarly WJVG had the ability to clobber a very listenable WQTT, WDLR, whatever in parts of UA and Hilliard and cause a dreadful listening experience.
 
Update, still no sign whatsoever of WJVG. I had to drive between Dublin and Pickerington tonight for work and I could still hear Marysville's 96.7 carrying the Reds out here in Pickerington. Usually in Dublin, WJVG would be causing some interference but the signal is nowhere to be found.
 
True, but I remember hearing WJVG provide substantial interference to WQTT/WDLR in parts of Dublin and Hilliard even if Marysville still dominated the frequency to within a few miles of their tower. Even that far out it is pretty obvious there is no other signal causing interference.
 
I was on Morse Rd earlier today and no sign of 102.1 either... I feel like 96.7 and 102.1 are both "ghost LPFMs" at this point.

re: 96.7 a week or two back I was coming back from Cinci and was picking up "My 96.7" airing Reds on the Radio south of Grove City! That translator does magic for coverage.
