[edit] History
The station signed on the air in the early 1940s as WICA. It started an FM station, WICA-FM, on 103.7 MHz around 1950 [1]; the station is now WREO (FM) 97.1. It also started WICA-TV on channel 15 in the 1950s. The television station started broadcasting around 1955 and had suspended operations by 1958.
WICA and WICA-FM later became WREO and WREO-FM, and the AM station changed its call sign to WFUN on July 3, 1978. The call letters WREO were retained by the sister FM station. Both AM and FM stations were owned by Richard D. and David C. Rowley in the name of their company Radio Enterprises of Ohio, Inc., which was formed on October 7, 1986. In May 2000 the Rowleys sold the stations to Clear Channel.
