Three days later, WFRT-FM changed its format to a simulcast of classic hits-formatted WKYW, branded as "Passport Radio".On December 16, 2019, CapCity Communications took control of WKYL in Lawrenceburg via a local marketing agreement and began simulcasting the "Passport Radio" format on that station. CapCity Communications purchased WKYL from Davenport Broadcasting in early 2020.
