On July 4, 2010, WAVO/WTIX added "Crank and Case", an automobile advice program similar to Car Talk, hosted by mechanics Chuck Sperry and Stick Case Roneis. WTIX continued to broadcast from the same antenna on U.S. 29 until November 2011. During part of that month, WTIX went off the air during a switch to a new tower expected to improve the station's signal. When WTIX came back March 4, 2012, it was called "Country Legends 1410 WTIX".

A local morning show began April 2, hosted by Mac McCoy, who once did traffic reports on WBT in Charlotte under the monicker of Jeff Pilot and as Magic 96.1's Sky King. the return to local programming in Concord proved unsuccessful, because in 2014, WTIX began simulcasting WHVN "Heaven Radio". In December 2015, it was announced that Catawba College Foundation and 2B Productions would be buying WTIX. WTIX began simulcasting the oldies format of WSAT in Salisbury, with local news, sports and information for an area that will also include Concord and Kannapolis. 2B Productions changed its name to Rowan-Cabarrus Radio, and Catawba students will train for journalism and communications careers on its three stations. The purchase, at a price of $65,000, was consummated on January 11, 2016. In 2016, WTIX added a translator W252DI at 98.3 FM and the station was called "Memories 98.3". The WEGO call letters returned to the station on October 10, 2018. At the end of 2022, the Independent Tribune said EMF had purchased W252DI to broadcast Air1, and the future of WEGO was uncertain.
