Subsequent Events
The WYNY call sign has not been used since the end of the quadrocast. In addition, the market has not had a full-time commercial country music station on a regular radio frequency. (Two stations with other formats on their regular frequencies, WLTW in the city and WVIP in New Rochelle, have country formats on HD2 and HD3, respectively. In addition, WLTW was a country media station in the late 1970s and early 1980s as WKHK, Kick 106.)
In June 2011, the newly formed Merlin Media bought classic rock outlet WRXP from Emmis Communications. On June 22, Merlin Media registered 1019wyny.com with GoDaddy.com as it was deciding what the station's new format and call letters were going to be. However, Merlin chose WEMP for the new call sign instead and it took effect on July 21. After a brief stunt as an adult contemporary station, WEMP premiered an all-news format on July 31. The rock format later returned as WRXP, but has since been sold to CBS Radio and is now the FM simulcast of sports talk radio station WFAN.

Famous quotes containing the words subsequent and/or events:
“And he smiled a kind of sickly smile, and curled up on the floor, And the subsequent proceedings interested him no more.”
—Francis Bret Harte (1836–1902)
“The system was breaking down. The one who had wandered alone past so many happenings and events began to feel, backing up along the primal vein that led to his center, the beginning of hiccup that would, if left to gather, explode the center to the extremities of life, the suburbs through which one makes one’s way to where the country is.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
