It was announced on May 28, 2014, that Midwest Communications will purchase 9 of the 10 Stations owned by South Central Communications. With this purchase, Midwest Communications will expand its portfolio of stations to Evansville, Knoxville and Nashville. WEJK was not involved in the sale as it would not fit under the ownership cap for Midwest. It was grandfathered in for South Central under previous ownership rules. It is likely that Boonville Broadcasting will take back operations of WEJK before or after the sale of South Central Communications other Stations are finalized. It was then announced on August 18, 2014 that South Central Communications will be turning the Operations of WEJK over to The Original Company, as Boonville Broadcasting will continue to own the Station. Once approved by the FCC, The Original Company will take over The Operations of WEJK & will operate the Station via a Time Brokerage Agreement. The Change Over was completed on September 1. The Sale of the 9 Former South Central Communications Radio Stations to Midwest Communications were also finalized on September 1.
