and WPNT moved to 1490 AM. On September 23, 2011, WDND changed its format from ESPN sports to a simulcast of co-owned Top 40 station WNDV at 92.9 FM, then known as "U93." The FCC generally enforced a policy that both an original standard AM band station, and its expanded band counterpart, had to remain under common ownership. Therefore, in 2013 the FCC denied a request to separately transfer WDND to the St. Thomas More Foundation. In March 2016, WDND stopped simulcasting U93, and returned to adult standards, using the "America's Best Music" syndicated format from Westwood One. The FCC's initial policy was that both the original station and its expanded band counterpart could operate simultaneously for up to five years, after which owners would have to turn in one of the two licenses, depending on whether they preferred the new assignment or elected to keep the original frequency, although this deadline was extended multiple times. WDND suspended operations on March 2, 2018, and it was ultimately decided to remain on the original frequency of 1580 kHz, with the license for WDND on 1620 kHz cancelled on April 15, 2019.
