History

The station went on the air as WEMD-FM in 1975 simulcasting its AM sister station WEMD-AM 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 80s (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 give the ability to increase to 25,000 watts. WEMD-AM changed its calls to WCEI-AM in late 1981 or early 1982. On 1981-12-21, the station changed its call sign to the current WCEI to represent the new owners, Clark Enterprises Incorporated.[2]
