WCLG-FM is an Active Rock formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Morgantown, West Virginia, serving North-Central West Virginia. WCLG-FM is owned and operated by Bowers Broadcasting Corporation.
On October 18, 1973, Freed Broadcasting Corporation applied for a construction permit to build what would become WCLG-FM.
WCLG-FM began broadcasting on September 28, 1974 simulcasting 70% of sister-station WCLG Top 40 programming and its own progressive rock format. At the time of launch, WCLG-FM broadcast at a power of 3,000 watts. The meaning of the station's callsign comes from the initials of former WCLG-AM owner C. Leslie Golliday. The studios of WCLG-FM have remained in the same location since sister-station WCLG signed on in 1954, 343 High Street in Morgantown.
In 1979, future owner Garry L. Bowers came onboard as the station's General Manager. In 1980, WCLG-FM took over the Top 40 programming which sister station WCLG had dropped two years earlier, when it switched to a Middle of the Road format. In 1983, WCLG-FM switched to a Contemporary Hit Radio format.
Freed Broadcasting Corporation sold WCLG-FM and sister station WCLG to Bowers Broadcasting Corporation on March 15, 1985 for $715,000.
In 1993, WCLG-FM switched its current Active Rock format. The following year, the station increased its transmitting power to 6,000 watts.
Bowers Broadcasting Corporation owner Garry L. Bowers died on Christmas Eve of 2011. On September 25, 2013, Bowers widow Linda K. Bowers assumed control of the company.
On September 26, 2013, Bowers entered into an agreement to sell WCLG-FM and sister station WCLG to AJG Corporation, for $1.8 Million.
On October 21, 2013, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rescinded the transfer-of-ownership application after an objection by Joe Potter, Senior Vice President of IMG Sports. Potter contends there is "very close connections and operational control" between AJG Corporation and West Virginia Radio Corporation. The co-directors of West Virginia Radio Corporation, John and David Raese, operate AJG Corporation as a trust for their descendents.
