Where are WDUV and Easy 93.1 now?

At this point I wonder how long WDUV can still be categorized as "soft" AC.
It's not AC either, but with this many songs that weren't "lite" back when they were popular, in such a short period of time, I have a hard time with their continuing to call them "lite" favorites.
"She Drives Me Crazy", "We Belong", "Mickey", "Small Town" (those four, two of which are borderline "lite", were played along with four actual "lite" songs), "Somebody's Watching Me", "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy", "Do You Believe in Love" (those last three were played together), "Vogue", "1999", and "Straight Up" (those last three were played with either three or four "lite" songs, depending on whether "Take Your Time" by SOS Band is "lite").
And while I was typing. "Maneater". Back to "lite".

It is soft AC for a generation that wasn't exposed to much soft music in its prime taste-forming years and is not mellowing into soft music as it ages.
Maybe, but the others are still softer. And the songs that aren't soft are more frequent on WDUV. I'm defining "soft" here as songs I remember hearing on soft rock radio when they were popular or at least before people like The Carpenters were banished from the format.
I had noticed something about WFEZ (Easy 93.1) and WLYF (101.5 Lite FM) at least. They're the only Soft AC and Mainstream AC in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale market for the past six years. WFEZ had gradually filled in the gap between Soft AC and Mainstream AC over the past decade as WLYF had quietly became a Mainstream AC completely over the last half of the previous decade. WLYF had been a Soft AC / Mainstream AC hybrid for a long time. At least back when I started streaming it in November 2011.
I think WLYF had evolved in a similar fashion to WEZV, except WLYF done it quietly. WLYF had slowly dropped a lot of the Soft AC tracks between 2014 and 2018 that it used to lean heavily on up till 2014. Since 2017, they had been adding more recurrents and currents than they ever did. Around late 2018, they dropped their "Refreshing" slogan in favor of their current "Real Music Variety" slogan. They still kept the same branding and logo.
