	In March 2010, WHCU returned to the FM airwaves when sister station [[WQNY]] launched News/Talk 870 on its HD3 channel. WHCU had been on a former [[WYXL]] translator (first at 95.5, then at 95.9 briefly) before Saga turned off the translator, accommodating the introduction of [[WFIZ]] into the market. The use of WQNY-HD3 overcomes the challenges of 870's night time pattern, especially outside of Tompkins County.
