On October 4, 2017, the FCC informed WKMG that it believed the station had been silent for over a year and ordered the station to provide its full operational status since August 9, 2011; in attempting to inform WKMG on May 10, 2017, of unpaid debts it owed to the commission, FCC staffers discovered that license owner Cornell Blakely [3] had died on December 2, 2013, and that WKMG's phone number had been disconnected. [7] After the FCC's notification was returned as undeliverable, the WKMG license was cancelled on November 9, 2017. [8]
