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: How would you suggest I alter it exactly? It probably wouldn't make much sense to arbitrarily split the experiments into differently formatted bits.
gollark: But really, you can read alphabetically and it works.
gollark: I suppose it's possible that most users aren't exposed to the colours enough that they learn to associate them with anything usefully.
