According to a couple of websites, WOLY's license had also been cancelled in 1998 because it had expired, but was then reinstated a few months later. It's hard to believe the station couldn't afford a computer. A new one costs all of $500 these days, which to me seems like a small amount compared to operating costs for things like electricity, rent, salaries (though with a name like Christian Family, it might've been a volunteer operation). At the very least, one of the staff members must've had a computer they could have used to file the renewal.

Here's a trippy story out of West Michigan - four years after its license was deleted, WOLY is still on the air, and the FCC can't seem to do much about it thus far:

So if you hear WOLY at sunset, it's not a ghost from the past!
