History

The station began in 1947 as WAND. It became WCNS and later WNYN in the 1960s. WNYN, along with sister station WNYN-FM 106.9, was purchased in 1965 by Don Keyes, who had made his mark as a national programmer for legendary station owner Gordon McLendon. He sold the AM station sometime after 1971, when he sold WNYN-FM to Susquehanna Radio. The FM station became WHLQ, then WOOS, and is now WRQK-FM.

After Keyes sold the AM station, it was known as "Country 9" and featured a country music format in the 1980s. The station became WTOF on March 15, 1985 when it was commonly owned with WTOF-FM 98.1 (the frequency now occupied by WKDD). WTOF-FM was first station owned by Mortenson Broadcasting. 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.

The WCER call sign was previously assigned to AM 1390 in Charlotte, Michigan from 1956 to 1980.

Programming

Notable weekday programming includes Alex Jones, Christian Teaching/Preaching, Derry Brownfield, Dave Ramsey, Doctor Laura, "The Patriot News Hour", and "The Flip Side" with Robby Noel.
