up Delilah After Dark evenings. The pickup of Delilah, later picked up by rival WHUD, was allowed via a geographic loophole (WHUD and WRNQ are technically in different markets) which also allowed the two rivals to have the same jingle package for several years. Eric Straus decided to leave radio ownership in 2000 to start two online ventures (Regional Help Wanted and Cupid.com), selling the cluster to Clear Channel Communications. The next year, Van Ritshie retired from radio, and was replaced by Joe Daily (formerly of WBNR) in the morning slot. In 2002, WRNQ began airing Christmas music in the months before Christmas copying a programming move popular in other radio markets. At the end of Christmas music in 2003, the station relaunched under the "LiteFM" brand of popular sister WLTW in New York City in a move of "branding unity" which also was ironic considering the station's pre-signon change done to minimize confusion with WLTW. Outside of some music refocusing and the addition of a Saturday night dance programming, no major changes were made until October 2011, when WRNQ switched to Premium Choice and Premiere Networks for content outside of Joe Daily in Morning Drive. A variation of WRNQ's format, without the simulcast and with different disc jockeys, had been broadcast on 98.5 WCTW in Catskill, New York. From March 2005 until November 2006, WRNQ's format and programming was "shadowcast" on 99.3 WFKP in Ellenville, New York, which aired the same air talent as WRNQ (and carried WRNQ's "Joe Daily in the Morning"). On September 8, 2014, WRNQ returned to its original "Q92" branding.
