WCYN-FM was silent from March 7, 2017, to sometime in 2019, due to the lack of an exciter.[3] It returned to the air, simulcasting sister station WLXX, using the slogan "Playing What We Want!" The playlist was mostly rock hits from the 1980s, 90s and early 2000s, but included pop and novelty hits from the last 50 years. Unlike most music stations, WCYN-FM, along with WLXX, did not have DJs, but used the prerecorded voice of Howard Cogan to make humorous and sometimes sarcastic quips. The station’s final Program Director was Patrick Scott.

WCYN's license was surrendered to the Federal Communications Commission and cancelled on May 19, 2022.
