Sign off

On June 17, 2020, the station ceased broadcasting. Promise Land Communications cited in a Facebook post "the ongoing legal challenge...by the out of state giant Saga Communications". [5] In late 2019, Saga accused Promise Land, along with four other Charlotteville area low-power FM stations, of operating as a "de facto cluster". [6] Saga owns six stations in the Charlottesville market. [6] [7] Saga has accused low-power stations licensure violations in the past. [8]

On June 16, 2020, station president Jeffrey Lenert turned in the license for deletion stating "As a result of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic and recent increased costs of station ownership and operation, it has become impossible to operate station WPVC-LP in the manner that I wish." [9] The station's license was deleted and its pending renewal dismissed on July 7 of the same year. [10]
