On May 31, 2018, the station ceased local programming, switching to the Educational Media Foundation's Air1 network. The university formally sold WQME to EMF outright on October 31, 2018. The sale was completed on November 30.[3][4][5]

On January 1, 2019 Air1 switched from its longtime Christian CHR/Top 40 format to a Christian worship format.
