History

WCLT-FM signed on the air on August 7, 1947; 77 years ago (1947-08-07). It was owned by The Advocate, Newark's daily newspaper. In its early days, WCLT-FM largely simulcast co-owned WCLT 1480 AM.

By the 1970s, the FM station was offering separate programming. While WCLT (AM) was a Top 40 station, WCLT-FM played automated easy listening music. In the 1980s, the station made the transition to soft adult contemporary music. In the 1990s, it flipped to country music.
