A fire December 7, 2005,http://wtoc.com/Global/story.asp?s=4216379 {{Dead link|date=February 2022}} destroyed the original studios. New permanent facilities located at the original site went online June 24, 2006. Since then, sister station WLOP has noticed a resurgence in listeners, due in part to Fox Sports Radio, and the addition of relevant local sports programming 24/7, including WCHS Softball on WLOP.
