Yinger oversaw and completed WLQV's longstanding application for increased nighttime power. In 2003, WLQV began operating with 9 towers at night, 10,000 watts of power, ending an eighteen-year standoff with WTOP and KSTP. Both stations were also broadcasting on 1500 AM and were concerned that WLQV would interfere with their signals. By this time, Yinger's company was known as "The Christian Broadcasting System", a group of nine stations and a satellite network. "CBSL" owned WLQV until its sale to Salem. Under Yinger's ownership the station went by the name "Victory 1500", using the same brand name as then-sister stations WSNL in Flint and WLCM in Lansing.
