[edit] History
Stice Communications received the original construction permit for a new FM radio statio from the Federal Communications Commission on March 5, 1993.[4] The new station was assigned the call letters WCCK by the FCC on May 14, 1993.[5] WCCK received its license to cover from the FCC on January 10, 1994.[6]
In May 2000, Stice Communications, Inc., reached an agreement to sell this station to Freeland Broadcasting. The deal was approved by the FCC on July 11, 2000, and the transaction was consummated on July 31, 2000.[7]
Note: WCCK is now home to local radio hero, Andy Rudd, 10am to 3pm each weekday. The WCCK call letters originally assigned to 103.7 (K-104) In Erie, PA until the early 1990s when the call letters were changed to WMXE, now WRTS (STAR-104) which plays top 40 format.
