The reason is usually given in the application to the FCC to cease operation, which isn't filed until after it's off the air. The 50 kW day power is expensive. It has four towers so if it doesn't own the site rent can be expensive. My guess is it's financial. The inability to get parts rarely results in going dark.

High operating and maintenance costs, a la CKSL, or can't get parts, a la WDOD? A look at Radio Locator shows a lot of stations in the immediate area and, though they use three towers in the daytime and 4 at night, the strong S.E. lobes of both suggest some of those towers may be common. Given the number of strong signals in that comparatively small market, I wonder how anyone makes money in radio there anyway.
