WLEC is an AM radio station in Sandusky, Ohio, USA broadcasting at 1450 kHz. It is owned by BAS Broadcasting. WLEC carries a Middle of the Road/Oldies format, using ABC Radio's "Timeless" satellite channel. The station also features local hosts Mark Fogg and Steve Shoffner.

It is also the Erie County affiliate for broadcasts of the Cleveland Indians baseball, Cleveland Browns football, Cleveland Cavaliers basketball, Ohio State football and basketball. In addition, WLEC is the home for weekly local high school football and basketball broadcasts, in conjunction with sister station WMJK.

History

In July 1986 the station was sold by Miller Broadcasting, headed by Richard H. Miller of Cleveland, to Erie Broadcasting Co., owned by Cleveland's Jim Embrescia. After a brief period in the hands of Signal One Communications from October 1987 to May 1990, it passed, along with WCPZ (FM), to Erie Broadcasting II, Inc., a new company also headed by Embrescia. The format at the time was full-service adult contemporary.

On April 30, 1997, it was announced that Jacor Communications, Inc. agreed to WLEC and WCPZ(FM)"Mix 102.7" from Erie Broadcasting II, Inc. for $7.65 million [http://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/stories/1997/04/28/daily11.html] . 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.

WLEC itself maintained a pop standards/beautiful music format dubbed "American Music Classics" until switching to sports talk on September 8, 2006. Classic rocker WMJK-FM, licensed to Clyde, Ohio as "100.9 The Coast," also made up the Clear Channel Sandusky cluster with WLEC and WCPZ.

On November 16, 2006, WLEC, WCPZ and WMJK were formally 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. WLEC then changed back to a standards format on March 3, 2008, although the ABC "Timeless Favorites" format focuses chiefly on soft oldies from the 1960s and 1970s and no longer plays the big-band music WLEC had featured prior to switching to sports talk.
