to "Kiss-FM." As a result, Kiss signed off on the 30th with a goodbye show featuring all of the remaining airstaff, and went off the air at Midnight, with "Brother's Gonna Work It Out" by Willie Hutch being the last song on Kiss. Immediately after, ESPN Radio began broadcasting on 98.7 FM under a local marketing agreement with the Walt Disney Company. Inner City/YMF also moved WBLS and its AM sister station WLIB into WRKS's former office/studio space at Emmis' New York broadcast facility. The 98.7 frequency simulcast WEPN, the ESPN owned-and-operated AM station until September 7, 2012, when the AM station switched over to ESPN Deportes Radio full-time. Simulcasts of New York Red Bulls games on MSG Network were switched to WEPN-FM at that time. The station's call sign changed to WEPN-FM on May 14, 2012, to match the AM call letters. YMF Media then transferred the WRKS call letters to the ESPN Radio affiliate in the Jackson, Mississippi area. In December 2021, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin-based Good Karma Brands announced that it would acquire operational control of WEPN-FM from Disney/ESPN, with Good Karma assuming the remainder of Disney's lease agreement with Emmis Communications; Emmis maintains ownership of the station's license. In the same transaction, Good Karma purchased full ownership of WEPN (AM) and ESPN Radio-owned stations in Chicago and Los Angeles from Disney.
