The sale of WNKN finalized on September 28, 2017 with WNKU permanently signing off both on WNKN and the WNKU online stream at 6:00 p.m. EDT. The final AAA format song played over WNKN before transferring ownership was "This Must Be The Place" by Talking Heads. As stated in the original purchase agreement, in addition to the WNKN license and transmitter site in Middletown, Grant County Broadcasters had purchased all of WNKU's studio equipment. It was also noted at that time that the farmhouse adjacent to the transmitter site, which was WPBF-FM and WPBF (AM)'s studios prior to their sale to NKU, was not purchased by Grant County Broadcasters and remains property of NKU.
