Inc. for $1.5 Million. Embrescia owned several radio stations including 1520 WINW in Canton, 850 WRMR WKNR and 102.1 WDOK in Cleveland. In 1997, Embrescia attempted to sell both WLEC and WCPZ to Allur of Ohio operated by Regina Henry, but the sale was never completed and on April 30, 1997, it was announced that Jacor Communications agreed to buy both stations for $7.65 million. The sale was approved and the license transferred on June 25. In May 1999, Clear Channel Communications completed its $6.5 billion purchase of Jacor and its 454 stations, including WLEC. Following the sale of the station to Jacor Communications in September 1997, WCPZ eventually took the "Mix" banner used by Jacor's other Hot AC stations in the region, notably the now-defunct WVMX in Cincinnati and WMVX in Cleveland. As a result, the call letters changed to WMTX on April 24, 1998, with the WCPZ calls moving to the 100.9 facility in Clyde (today WMJK). The station regained the WCPZ calls on September 9, 1999, but kept use of the "Mix" banner on all other times. WMJK-FM, licensed to Clyde, Ohio as classic rocker "100.9 The Coast" (now country station "100.9 Coast Country") along with WLEC-AM and WCPZ-FM, made up Clear Channel's Vacationland cluster, having succeeded Jacor in 1999. On November 16, 2006, WCPZ, WLEC and WMJK were announced for sale as part of Clear Channel's divestiture of almost 450 small and middle-market radio properties in the U.S. The cluster was sold on January 15, 2008 to Fremont-based BAS Broadcasting, and BAS took over all three stations on February 1. WCPZ was expected to drop the "Mix" name following the sale, as the "Mix" moniker is used on many Clear Channel stations; however, it did not. BAS Broadcasting did, however, replace most local programming with the "AC Active" format from Waitt Radio Networks (now Dial Global Local). The morning show – hosted by longtime local radio personality Randy Hugg – remains live and local.
