After February 2016 · the date is a named gap
The departure: the radio group did not stay in Mishawaka. The current published records of both surviving heritage stations place their studios and offices on Monroe Street in downtown South Bend — WSBT (960) listing "studios and offices on East Monroe Street in downtown South Bend," and WNSN the same Monroe Street address — so the production that had crossed into Mishawaka in the autumn of 2008 crossed back, at some point after the February 2016 closing, to within a few blocks of the Jefferson Boulevard building the cluster had left. The cluster's other members had meanwhile changed identity around it: WZOC's successor is WYRX-FM, and WYTZ-FM stands where the translator-fed country format ran; the FM translator W241AD, which had simulcast WSBT from 30 March 2012, carried a country format from 2021 to 2024 and returned to the WSBT simulcast on 23 July 2024.
The date of the move itself was not established in any record reached — neither station's published history narrates it, and no trade report of the relocation was found. It is printed here as a named gap, not a guess: radio's Mishawaka tenancy is documented at both ends (arrival in the autumn of 2008; continued operation from Douglas Road at the February 2016 closing) and its end is documented only by the present addresses. The television operation never followed it back; the asymmetry is the building's present shape, and it stands in the closing entry.
