Vermont WSNO 1450 no more?

Fybush's NorthEastRadioWatch says WSNO 1450 Barre VT is no more after decades of broadcasting. It was approaching one yr of silence but now filed to FCC to surrender its license.
Some years ago it dumped talk for rock and added a 105.7 translator "Vermont's Beat 105.7" and I think lately that translator together with a NY station has been The Penguin
 
Well there was SNO (WSNO) and SKI (WSKI) both were in the same market in an era where things are melting. Which one would you have bet on to survive?
 
The owners were only keeping the 1450 AM station around to feed the 105.7 translator in Barre. Both simulcast 97.9 WSNO-FM Au Sable NY, which airs an adult hits format for the Lake Champlain region.

Since the owners also have 100.9 WWFY Berlin, they simply put WSNO-FM's format on WWFY's HD2 signal. And that now feeds the 105.7 translator. No need for the AM anymore. (They needed some station in the Barre area to simulcast WSNO-FM's programming since a commercial translator can't rebroadcast a station from too far away, like Au Sable NY.)
