ILS critical area when the tower is closed?

I believe ELM switches the ILS from 6 to 24 depending on the wind
direction.
Both localizers are on 109.1, only one can be selected at any time.
I've never landed after midnight when the tower closes, but I wonder if
they leave the ILS on and leave an ATIS message as to which runway is ILS
active?
Possibly, but all they'd have to do is advise New York Center which ILS is
up.
Never thought about it before this thread. I guess I always assumed they
would turn off the approach when the controllers go home, but maybe not.
These things are turned off for maintenance or runway closures, that's
pretty much it.
