WLPW formerly broadcast a classic rock format branded as "Rock 105", which was simulcast with WRGR (102.1 FM) in Tupper Lake, New York; the stations subsequently began to simulcast sister station WNBZ-FM. WLPW went silent in June 2017 after the station stopped paying rent on the tower it had broadcast from.[4] In November 2017, as part of its acquisition of WNBZ in Saranac Lake, North Country Radio, owner of WSLP, obtained a right of first refusal to buy WLPW for $25,000 within thirty days of the station returning to the air.[5]
On March 9, 2018, the FCC granted the application to transfer the license and ownership from Radio Lake Placid, Inc. to North Country Radio.[6] The transfer was consummated on March 15, 2018, at a price of $32,500.[citation needed]
