In August 2016, Lakes Media sent an informal objection to the Federal Communications Commission alleging that translator W252DK in Durham, North Carolina was interfering with reception of WLUS-FM. After nearly a year of debate between Arohi Media, licensee of W252DK, and Lakes Media, the FCC sent a letter requiring that the translator cease operation immediately.
