In June 2017, the Adirondack Daily Enterprise reported that WNBZ had been silent since at least 2016. [2] The station had simulcast an adult contemporary format with WNBZ-FM (106.3). [3] WNBZ's "Radio Park" studio and transmitter facility was put up for tax auction in November 2017. [4] On November 22, 2017, Saranac Lake Radio, LLC filed to sell the station to North Country Radio, owner of WSLP (93.3 FM), for $6,000; the new owners would be required to change WNBZ's call sign, [5] and also received a right of first refusal to purchase Lake Placid sister station WLPW (105.5 FM). [6] Concurrently, the "Radio Park" properties were withdrawn from the Essex County tax auction list. [6] North Country Radio's purchase of WNBZ was consummated on February 9, 2018, and the new owners changed the station's call sign to WVSL on February 28, 2018.
