WBLU-LP went dark on or about July 22, 2008 due to what Equity described as "intermittent signal delivery issues" via satellite from Little Rock. The station reportedly resumed broadcasting on October 1, 2008. As mentioned above, the station did have a construction permit to move to digital operations, but for most of their stations, Equity never even made any serious attempt to build a digital facility out due to liquidity issues, and many of their stations went dark after the digital transition on June 12, 2009 due to a lack of any digital facility to transition to (though WBLU-LP as a low-power station would have been able to remain on the air with an analog signal up until July 13, 2021 at the very latest).
