After a couple weeks stunting as Stripper Hits “102.7 The Pole“, Border Broadcasting has flipped 102.7 WLYK Cape Vincent NY/Kingston ON to Gold AC “102.7 Lake FM“.

Led by My Broadcasting Corporation’s Jon Pole and Andrew Dickson, the station was purchased in December 2022 for $325,000. WLYK was previously programmed by Rogers Sports & Entertainment as CHR “Kiss 102.7” until the “102.7 The Pole” stunt began on February 28.
