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:
“Children of the same family, the same blood, with the same first associations and habits, have some means of enjoyment in their power, which no subsequent connections can supply; and it must be by a long and unnatural estrangement, by a divorce which no subsequent connection can justify, if such precious remains of the earliest attachments are ever entirely outlived.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“I have no time to read newspapers. If you chance to live and move and have your being in that thin stratum in which the events which make the news transpire—thinner than the paper on which it is printed—then these things will fill the world for you; but if you soar above or dive below that plane, you cannot remember nor be reminded of them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
