In February 2013, the station dropped all 1970s songs from its library and adjusted to a bright adult contemporary format featuring songs from the 2000s and 1980s songs. On November 19, 2015, it was announced the Bible Broadcasting Network would buy WILT as part of a requirement of Capitol's acquisition of WBNE from Sea-Comm Media;[10] the purchase was consummated on December 1, 2015, at a price of $300,000.
