History

The station went on the air as WEMD-FM in 1975 simulcasting its AM sister station WEMD which had a MOR format along with news, farm reports, local happenings, etc. In its beginning WEMD-FM was a 3,000 watt station but sometime in the mid-late 1980s (by this time WCEI-FM) the station asked for a power increase due to the fact that it was an EAS Carrier and needed a more powerful reach and penetration into businesses and homes. The ask was roughly for 10,000 watts but the station was given an increase to a B1- 12,500 watts. On December 21, 1981, the station changed its call sign to the current WCEI to represent the new owners, Clark Enterprises Incorporated,[4] and on August 24, 1985, WCEI-FM became an affiliate of American Top 40 with Casey Kasem.

gollark: For all the other problems with Intel, their Linux drivers are *great*.
gollark: It actually seems like the whole setup handling them is deliberately byzantine and overcomplicated to stop this sort of thing.
gollark: I am annoyed by how hard Amazon makes it to get the ebooks I bought (realistically, bought a license to legally) out of their walled garden and onto Calibre in some sort of actually standard format. Apparently I can't get any sort of usable files off the Android app, and I've lost my actual Kindle hardware, so I've had to download some ancient version of their Windows client and run it in Wine.
