The station surrendered its class A license to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on April 8, 2013, and reverted to a standard low-power license.
K36DU's license was cancelled by the FCC on August 4, 2021, due to the station failing to obtain a license for digital operation by the July 13 deadline.[3]
