with original Route 81 GM Bruce Collier returning as half-owner. Adult Standards format remains along with Ben in the morning. As of January 1, 2014 the station was off the air and no carrier signal was being broadcast. The station had filed for bankruptcy in 2012. Longtime morning host Ben Barber left the station in late 2013, at which time other programs, including the John Tesh syndicated midday show, were also discontinued. The station broadcasts were fully automated after this, and there were some periods during which a carrier signal was broadcast without any programming. In June 2014, Harold Z. Swidler purchased the station, planning to return it to the air at partial power and eventually at full power. On March 7, 2015, WHYL returned to the air with an oldies format, branded as "Good Time Oldies 960." In 2015 and 2016, WHYL used a single element temporary antenna located on the tower with WCAT-FM "Red 102.3". The station was operating on an FCC Special Temporary Authorization (STA) requested on December 19, 2014, and granted on March 10, 2015. The STA was extended on April 13, 2016, and expired on October 13, 2016. This allowed operation at the station's daytime nondirectional (omnidirectional antenna) power of 1.3 kilowatts and a nighttime power of 22 watts. The request was for 27 watts and reduced by the FCC to 22. In mid-2016, WHYL began simulcasting on translator W275CJ and was rebranded as "Good Time Oldies 102.9 WHYL". Translator WHYL programming is broadcast on the following translator: References External links HYL Radio stations established in 1949 Oldies radio stations in the United States
