Some translators were sold to Clear Channel (now iHeartMedia), which may spark rumors that Reach FM will sell all of its remaining translators to iHeartMedia.

In Orlando, W283AN was sold to iHeartMedia and changed formats into an urban contemporary-formatted, "104.5 The Beat".
In Tampa, 88.3 moved to 99.1 and became one of the affiliates for classic rock-formatted "Thunder Tampa Bay" along with W290BJ and W233AV, while 89.3 which moved to 99.9 became branded as "ALT 99.9" and converted to an alternative formatted station. However, after many complaints from WXJB, due to interference, W207BU switched frequencies from 99.9 to 100.3, and rebranded as alternative-formatted "ALT 100.3".
In Miami, W228BV moved to 93.5 and converted into a country formatted station, "93.5 The Bull"

Call sign	Frequency (MHz)	City of license	ERP W	Class	FCC info
