History Pre-broadcast Martinsburg, West Virginia, businessman C. Leslie Golliday filed the initial application for the station with the FCC on September 1, 1954. In the application, Golliday estimated construction costs at $13,608, with a first year operation cost of $36,000. Golliday estimated an initial revenue of $60,000. As WCLG, the station began testing equipment during the week of December 19, 1954, and filed its construction permit application two days later. WCLG broadcast for the first time on December 27, 1954. The station initially had a "music-news" format, using the Associated Press news service. In its early days, WCLG was a daytime-only broadcaster, with a power of 500 watts. Owner C. Leslie Golliday used his initials for the station's call sign. Golliday, who also owned Martinsburg's WEPM, envisioned a network of stations across the state of West Virginia. WCLG was officially granted its broadcast license by the FCC on January 18, 1955. Throughout its existence, the station's studios have been at 343 High Street in Morgantown.
