WNLI has since been sold toSuring, Wisconsin-basedWRVM and now operates as a rebroadcaster of WRVM with calls WPVM.
On January 8, 2020,WPCK (104.9), a former commercial station licensed toDenmark that was recently acquired by EMF fromCumulus Media, began to also carry K-Love, with both stations used to cover most of the market rather than being split among K-LOVE orAir1.
