WJPS-LP and WIKY-LP's licenses have since been deleted. WAZE-LP continued to operate as an Ion Television owned-and-operated station, owned by Ion Media Networks. WAZE-LP broadcast in analog only; there were no plans to convert the station to digital. Due to this and Ion's inability to trigger must-carry on local providers due to said low-power status, Ion eventually decided to pursue other methods for full distribution across the Evansville market. The first is a sub-lease of the fourth digital subchannel of WTVW (channel 7), from station owner Mission Broadcasting and SSA partner Nexstar Media Group. The second is the carriage of Ion's national feed on Spectrum channels 37 and 270 in Evansville, along with the major satellite providers (Wide Open West does not carry the network at all on its local systems). The license for WAZE-LP has been canceled and its call sign deleted, at Ion Media Networks' request, as of December 15, 2017.
