 Though initially successful, the station began to see its ratings decline due to competition from new rival WKBE and several out-of-market Top 40 stations, including WFLY and WZRT, with usable signals in WNYQ's signal area.In 2004, Vox applied to move WNYQ's signal into the more lucrative Albany market, making it the second Bradmark/Vox station to do so.
