WPLR-HD2
On September 18, 2017, at 10:23 am. WPLR launched an alternative rock format on its HD2 subchannel, branded as "Mod 102.3" (reflecting its simulcast on translator W272DO 102.3 FM). The first song on Mod was "First" by Cold War Kids.[5][6]
W272DO was sold to Red Wolf Broadcasting in January 2018. On January 15, it immediately ceased simulcasting "Mod" and began carrying Spanish CHR "Bomba" from WMRQ-FM HD2.[7] As of November 24, 2019, WPLR-HD2 is no longer broadcasting the "Mod" format and is now simulcasting WICC (600 AM) from Bridgeport.
