  It looks liek they have a long history of on/off operation

  Dont believe anything from the FCC  . they still show WCFI 1290 as  on. Those towers and building have been torn down for 2 years

Maybe they are having technical difficulties or perhaps the FCC database is not current.

They weren't on today - for sure.

When  it was WAAA, they always had a horribly modulated signal at times and  seemed somewhat intermittent in its operation. I had the feeling that  it wasn't a well run station.
