There's a little bit (but not much) more to the story than that.

KLIB's licensee, Multicultural Broadcasting, is one of several parties 
to a petition that's pending before the FCC to restore the licenses of 
several stations that were returned as part of the X-band 5-year deadline.

The petition basically claims (not without merit) that the FCC's X-band 
plan has been a failure, and that the public interest would be better 
served by allowing the "second" stations to remain on the air, in most 
cases being sold to another licensee (ideally a small business).

I don't remember all the parties involved, but the ones that come to 
mind are WHWH 1350-NJ, KLIB 1110-CA, KYDZ 1180-NE, WJCC 1700-FL, and I 
know there were others as well.

The FCC hasn't yet ruled on the petition.
