off the air, eventually stopped tuning in, and the inability of many potential listeners in the New York area to tune into the 87.7 signal made the simulcast unprofitable for JVC Broadcasting. On January 21, 2010, WPTY stopped simulcasting on WNYZ-LP. Island Broadcasting let the signal go silent for one day and then began playing dance music for two hours the next morning. Due to a non-compete agreement, Island Broadcasting was not allowed to broadcast the dance music. Later in the day, a filler format of jazz and blues standards with station identification aired until January 27, 2010. 2010 The station implemented an independent music format on its audio channel known as the "Indie Darkroom". On March 21, 2010, the station announced that Indie Darkroom would soon be relegated to the overnight hours on weekends. During other hours of Saturdays and Sundays, the station became "CaribStar 87.7FM". On March 31, 2010, the station added Russian language programming "Danu Radio", (a successor of "Radio Vsyo"). On May 2, 2010, the station began airing Hindi-language programming on Sunday mornings. On July 25, 2010, the station began airing Korean programing simulcast from WWRU in Jersey City. The station's transmitter is located at One Court Square in Long Island City, Queens. Accidental license cancellation On June 29, 2011, the FCC canceled the license of WNYZ-LP and deleted its call sign; the station had filed an extension for its construction permit (CP) for its digital facilities, after the original CP had expired. According to FCC regulations, a CP extension could only be filed only if the current CP is still valid. The cancellation was eventually undone due to the action being a mistake on the FCC's part. The FCC had meant to only deny the digital CP extension, not revoke the analog one as they had done. The station's license was renewed in 2015 for an eight-year term. Analog-to-digital conversion All low power and translator television stations were required to shut down all analog television transmission by July 13, 2021. The station had construction permits to build its digital television transmitter. The station ended its programing on July 13, 2021, at 11:14p.m. as part of the FCC mandated shutdown, permanently shutting down its transmitters just hours later. NY Radio Korea announced that the radio service would continue to be aired on other radio stations, including WVIP via HD Radio, WVIP's translator station W268BY at 101.5
