Per Radio Insight, WWIL 1490--and translator W285FQ 104.9--and daytimer WLTT 1180, which were all owned by CLI Radio Inc., have had their licenses deleted after remaining silent for nearly two years without an STA or ownership change filed with the FCC.
CLI Radio owner James Utley, Jr., passed away in September 2020, after which the stations fell silent.
WWIL was originally WHSL, signed on in 1964 and spawned two Wilmington market FM signals: WHSL-FM 97.3--what's now WMNX "97-3 The Coast"--in 1970, and WWIL-FM 90.5 in 1995. Formats have included R&B, contemporary Christian, southern gospel, and black gospel.
Originally WMYT when it signed on in 1989, WLTT held many call letters and formats over its three-decade run. In February 2020, it began what would be its final format, urban adult contemporary "Power 107.1" via translator W296DP (which was canceled in 2021).
