On January 2, 2014, the station's licensee surrendered WFIS' license to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for cancellation. The licensee indicated that the surrender was related to their pending application to increase the broadcast power of co-owned station WTZQ in Henderson, North Carolina.[1] On January 3, 2014, the FCC cancelled the station's license.

Translators

WFIS was relayed by an FM translator in Fountain Inn, to improve coverage in areas of the town where reception was poor:

gollark: Yes. I tested on that and it got consistent 30ms ping times.
gollark: The idea is that if my server failed, skynet clients could just swap over to another one.
gollark: Log syncing would break things.
gollark: Huh, I have no idea what just happened but it seems like my WiFi connection fixed itself: I'm getting a sensible TX/RX bitrate, latency is sensible and my bandwidth jumped by a factor of 10?
gollark: It's not about load balancing, the Rust version is waaay faster so that isn't an issue, it's for if (when...) my server goes down.
