That's the AM on 1270 in Cambridge, not the FM.
Sold to non-profit that already owns WUCO in Marysville, which is also on 1270.
Probably they will turn off WILE and try to move WUCO into Columbus.
WILE Sold for $750K

With WILE out of the way, they could move east a considerable distance, thereby reducing their protection requirements towards 1290 in Dayton, and 1250 in Washington Court House.
Since there is no nearby 1280, and the 1260 stations (WWMK Cleveland, 113 miles and WNXT, Portsmouth, 82 miles) are a good ways away from Columbus, then their main worry is co-channel WXYT, Detroit. WXYT is a 50 now, but it is all north from a site south of Detroit.

Sounds like they will take it dark:

Doesn't exactly say so but they hint it enough with their "expansion plans" into Columbus.
I love how they say their moving their studios to Columbus and won't be leaving Marysville... Just wait till WILE is gone... they will some how manage to move that tower a little east I am willing to guess.

... and one day ... we'll wake up ... and radio ... will be restricted to clusters of stations in major metropolitan areas ... and we'll reminisce ... about the old days ... when small towns had their own radio station ... their own voice, so to speak ...
But no more.
GRANDSON: Why did they take the radio station away, Grandpa?
GRANDPA: Well ... there was consolidation, and automation, and then the bean counters came, and there was debt load ... and return on investment ... and they fired a lot of people and used machines ...
GRANDSON: You mean PEOPLE worked at radio stations, Grandpa?
GRANDPA: Yes ... in every town. Mornings, mid-days, afternoon, nights, overnight, weekends. You had disc jockeys, and news reporters, and sports ... There were lots of jobs in radio back then ...

Translators are a Pox on the FM radio dial.
