Hughes Broadcasting Partners (Paul Hughes and Veronis, Suhler & Associates) purchased the station in 1991. Hughes then sold WOKR to Portland, Maine–based Guy Gannett Communications in 1995, who later sold channel 13 to the Hunt Valley, Maryland–based Sinclair Broadcast Group (owner of Fox affiliate WUHF, channel 31) in 1998. Since they already owned WUHF, they spun channel 13 off to The Ackerley Group in April 1999.

On January 10, 2005, at 1:42 in the morning, channel 13 signed off-the-air for the last time as WOKR and returned to the air at 4:59 that same day as WHAM-TV. The WOKR call letters then moved to sister station WUCL (now WAWR) in Remsen, New York (now Air 1 affiliate WAWR; in 2015, when the Remsen station dropped the calls, a radio station in Rochester picked up the WOKR calls and returned them to the market, swapping them with Canandaigua sister station WRSB in 2017). This was part of a strategy that Clear Channel would use the older callsign for an existing TV station they co-owned with the radio stations, the others were in San Antonio and Syracuse.
