On February 14, 2018, Whiplash Radio, LLC attempted to turn in both the station‘s license and the license for WYCL, and sent the FCC a request to delete both licenses, effective immediately. While initially granting this request, the FCC reversed course that May 4, restoring both the licenses and call letters of WHTX and WYCL and reinstated the assignment application for consent to assign the licenses to Sagittarius Communications. After the order from the FCC, the licence for the station was transferred to a court-appointed receivership until the sale was completed.
