On July 13, 1999, the station again changed its call sign to WMYK. On August 12, 2001, the station reverted back to WARU-FM on the current frequency 101.9 MHz. Since 2001, the station has undergone several changes to its format, such as Classic Rock, All 80s Adult Contemporary, Country, and Adult Hits.

The station added syndicated Pink Floyd program "Floydian Slip" in January 2022.
Technical
Transmitter is a 5000 watt Broadcast Electronics FM-5T utilizing a single high power forced-air cooled metal/ceramic tetrode vacuum tube (type number 4CX3500A) in an high efficiency half wave cavity as the RF final amplifier stage. This tetrode requires approximately 100 watts of RF drive power which is generated by an all solid state BE FM250C exciter (direct FM).
