Employees tweeted out their thoughts online after the entire staff was let go.

It appears as if the station is now playing a steady rotation of Beyonce hits, but there is no word on whether it is a longterm format change.

The station released this statement on their website:

"We'd like to thank the News92 staff for their outstanding service, our advertisers and each of you our listeners and web visitors for your support. This difficult decision is a result of sustained poor ratings performance and significant financial losses over the past three years despite the substantial financial and human resources we invested. Unfortunately, the market hasn't shown a sustainable appetite for news radio, but each of you motivated us daily to produce a high-quality news program. Together, we made history."
