Harold Glunt died on January 21, 2010; his surviving son took over ownership of the stations, and put all of them up for sale. Educational Media Foundation acquired WLOA, WGRP and WEXC for a combined $225,000 on September 10, 2010; all three stations changed formats to relay the national non-commercial K-LOVE feed. WLOA was then taken off-the-air on January 15, 2011, with a Special Temporary Authority (STA) to remain silent being filed that February 3, being granted this authority on March 14, 2011. EMF would then sell off WLOA and WGRP on July 25, 2011 to Vilkie Communications, headed by WMVL owner Joe Vilkie, for $50,000. Vilkie Communications assumed control of both stations on December 15, 2011.
