Too bad they can't repurpose it as an all-news format (simulcasting news from WIS or any other station for that matter), but there's no money in that these days (unless conservative talk radio counts). At one time they were the radio side of WIS (hence the calls) and were precisely that, a news station.

Cumulus basically just used it to broadcast overflow programs from 107.5 and for double conflicts for USC sporting events (like football/men's basketball or men's basketball/baseball or men's/women's basketball). But more recently they started using 98.5 WOMG for them.

It may sound strange, but I really do not keep up with Columbia radio. I listen to WVOC-560 (and occasionally WQXL-1470 "The Point", Keven Cohen's venture), and WLTR-91.3 for classical. Aside from that, I listen to TuneIn on Apple CarPlay especially if I am taking a longer trip, and WETA or KUSC on TuneIn at home when ETV Radio isn't running classical. Sometimes I will listen to news stations on TuneIn, such as CNN, WTOP, or WINS. If a Columbia station makes a format or call change, I'm the last one to know.
