The stations were later purchased later by Mack Jones: They were sold by Richard V. Goines to JG&J Broadcasting Inc., headed by Mack Edmonson Jones, for $230,000; control was handed over on October 23, 1991. At the time, the AM station was operating with 1 kilowatt of power, and the FM was broadcasting 3 kilowatts.
The license for 1400 WLSE expired on December 1, 2003 without being renewed.
WZKB was sold to Christian Listening Network in 2003 and became a religious format until 2008 when it was sold to Carolina's Christian Broadcasting, Inc. dba Progress Media. WZKB then became a Spanish religious format for a time, then offered Spanish programming under LMA until late 2011 when WZKB became a simulcast of WTIK La Mega 1310 AM in Durham, North Carolina with a Regional Mexican format. In December 2014, WZKB ended its simulcast agreement with WTIK, and rebranded as Poder 94.3. In May 2015, WZKB rebranded as '''Mía 94.3".
