On April 19, 2021, RTN launched The JOY FM on
WNUE-FM
98.1, which the organization concurrently filed to buy from
Entravision Communications
for $4 million.

During most of 2013, WJIS was also simulcasted on 91.7

; that station would cease operations in fall 2013, to allow for upgrades of adjacent channel WCIE and co-channel WJFH.
