WPDX (AM)

WPDX (1300 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Morgantown, West Virginia, carrying a classic country format simulcasting WPDX-FM in Clarksburg.

[1] Serving both Morgantown and Monongalia County, WPDX is owned by WVRC Media and operated under their AJG Corporation licensee.

Over the years, the station was subject to an equal-time rule complaint and was awarded for its coverage of the Farmington Number 9 mine disaster.

Martinsburg, West Virginia, businessman C. Leslie Golliday filed the initial application for the station with the FCC on September 1, 1954.

[7] As WCLG, the station began testing equipment during the week of December 19, 1954,[8] and filed its construction permit application two days later.

[18][19] In May 1960, Stanley R. Cox, a candidate in the Republican primary election for the House of Representatives, filed an equal-time rule complaint against WCLG.

[39] On September 26, 2013, Linda Bowers entered into an agreement to sell WCLG and sister station WCLG-FM to AJG Corporation, for $1.8 million.

[40][41] Bowers also entered into a time brokerage agreement, allowing AJG to operate the station prior to the close of the sale.

[41][42] The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rescinded the transfer-of-ownership application on October 21, 2013, after an objection by Joe Potter, Senior Vice President of IMG Sports.

[43][44] The FCC granted the ownership transfer on February 3, 2015 subject to several conditions regarding business relationships and communication between AJG and WVRC.

[6] The transfer to AJG Corporation was eventually consummated on September 1, 2017, at which point WCLG changed its format from classic hits to adult contemporary, branded as "Morgan 92.1".

[49] Slade was later heard on WOWO and WIND, covering the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. (April 1968) and of Robert F. Kennedy (June 1968) on the latter station.

[50] Arnett's later career took him to the CBS Radio program Renfro Valley Folks and to the Tampa, Florida, station WDAE.

[51] Eugene Cottilli started as sports director at WCLG, before becoming the press secretary to Senator Howard Metzenbaum of Ohio.
