Flinn Broadcasting surrendered WPGF-LD's license to the Federal Communications Commission on June 20, 2021, and the FCC canceled it the following day. At the time, it was an affiliate of Estrella TV. The station returned to the air in January 2022 under a new license and converted to ATSC 3.0 broadcasting that month. On July 20, 2023, an FCC "Report and Order" included this station as one of 13 "FM6" stations allowed to continue to operate an FM radio broadcast, as a "ancillary or supplementary" service.[3]
