In the Fall of 2004, Nassau Broadcasting applied for a city of license change for their flagship station 97.5 WPST from Trenton to Burlington, NJ (less than 20 miles to the south). In doing so they would make 97.5 able to move into the more lucrative Philadelphia market. While that move will not take place until the Fall of 2005 at the earliest, Nassau took the next step in January by announcing it would swap the programming of its two Trenton FM’s. 97.5 WPST’s CHR format would move on Valentine’s Day to the 94.5 home of Classic Rocker “The Hawk”.

When it came to the well known syndicated show Delilah, WLTQ was there running it back in the 90s before the show expanded to the way it is now. WLTQ was also known for running all Christmas music during the season. During 2003 and 2004, the station’s ratings have been falling considerably. Rumors have been flying that the station was going to flip to Air America. On September 17th 2004, the 11:00AM Hour was filled with songs hinting that the end was coming.
