The station's license was cancelled by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on August 25, 2022, at the request of the licensee.[1] The closure of WYBF came after Cabrini College agreed to end its share-time agreement with Villanova University's WXVU; as part of the deal, Cabrini will be paid $125,000 upon FCC approval of WXVU's application for full-time operation. The "Cavalier Radio" programming continues to operate as an Internet radio station.[2]
