I seem to recall that they went Fox Sports for the last few months before the sale.I believe Mike Landry was the last live host on Great Gold 1260 WBUD before it was sold in the middle to late 2000’s. That was a very local station with an extremely dedicated listener base for decades.
If I remember correctly they laid off their on air talent around 2005 but continued to play automated music until the sale around 2007-2008.
