The station broadcast from 1947 to 2011, ceasing operations when the owners voluntarily allowed their license to expire, and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) cancelled it.
After Mortenson sold the AM station, the call sign was changed to WBXT on March 1, 1988 (with a short-lived Urban format), then to WCER on September 29, 1992.
The WCER call letters originally stood for "Canton's Entertainment Radio," but have taken on different meanings with the station's Christian and religious-leaning format.
Owned by Melodynamic Broadcasting Corp., whose shareholders include Jack Ambrozic and former Cuyahoga County Judge Leodis Harris, WCER featured programming such as Alex Jones, Christian Teaching/Preaching, Derry Brownfield, Dave Ramsey, Dr. Laura, "The Patriot News Hour", and "The Flip Side" with Robby Noel.
WCER filed a "notification of silent operation" on September 27, 2011, stating that the station went off the air thirteen days earlier.
