WTAM then moved the affiliation to WKNR in 1998 (when both stations were under common ownership); WKNR carried ESPN Radio until its cancellation by the network in July 2006 which was effective that October. WWGK's new ownership then purchased WKNR in December 2006, and moved it back to WKNR in March 2007, but WWGK airs ESPN programming and play-by-play that WKNR is unable to air due to other commitments. |

Despite still having a current contract with WDFN, ESPN Radio began broadcasting on WXYT anyway, including Mike and Mike in the Morning - with both stations sometimes carrying ESPN Radio content simultaneously.
In October 2007 when WXYT merged with sister station WKRK to become "97.1 The Ticket," the station took a higher emphasis on local programming, and dropped ESPN Radio in lieu of Sporting News Radio.
