	In August 2000, Anastos Media (owned by TV newscaster [[Ernie Anastos]]) bought WMVI. The company fixed the transmitter and equipment problems and brought it back on the air, playing 1960s–1970s hits as "Sunny 1160." It later entered into a [[simulcast]] with co-owned pop-standards station [[WABY\|WUAM]] [[900 AM]] in Saratoga Springs. Two years later, WMVI would take the abandoned '''WABY''' [[call sign]] as a tribute to the popular Top 40 station of the 1960s and 70s in Albany. The WUAM portion of the simulcast ended in April 2008, when AM 900 began carrying the audio from local cable TV news outlet [[Capital News 9]].

	In August 2000, Anastos Media (owned by TV newscaster [[Ernie Anastos]]) bought WMVI. The company fixed the transmitter and equipment problems and brought it back on the air, playing 1960s–1970s hits as "Sunny 1160." It later entered into a [[simulcast]] with co-owned pop-standards station [[WABY\|WUAM]] [[900 AM]] in Saratoga Springs. Two years later, WMVI would take the abandoned '''WABY''' [[call sign]] as a tribute to the popular Top 40 station of the 1960s and 70s in Albany. The WUAM portion of the simulcast ended in April 2008, when AM 900 began carrying the audio from local cable TV news outlet [[Capital News 9]].
