WCEB (94.7 MHz) is a non-commercial FM radio station licensed to Deposit, New York, and serving the Binghamton metropolitan area. The station simulcasts a Christian radio format with WCEG (100.3 FM) in Delhi. The stations are owned by Family Life Ministries.[1]
History
Delaware County Broadcasting, owner of WDLA and WDLA-FM in Walton, New York, was granted a construction permit for a new station on 94.7 in Deposit on July 27, 1989.[2] The station, which took the call sign WIYN,[3] signed on with a soft adult contemporary format[4] on January 16, 1991.[5]
Delaware County Broadcasting sold its stations—WIYN, the WDLA stations, and WDHI in Delhi—to BanJo Communications, owner of stations in nearby Norwich and Oneonta, for $865,000 in 2000.[6] In January 2001, BanJo began simulcasting an oldies format on WIYN and WDHI.[7] BanJo sold its stations to Double O Radio for $9.75 million in 2004.[8]
Double O sold 26 radio stations, including WIYN and WDHI, to Townsquare Media in 2011.[9] In early 2019, Townsquare closed the stations' studios in Walton, which were shared with the WDLA stations and WTBD-FM; operations were moved to the company's Oneonta facility.[10] In September 2022, WIYN and WDHI shifted from classic hits to classic rock as "100.3 & 94.7 The Eagle".[11] The stations carried the syndicated show The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show, based at then-sister WGRD-FM in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in morning drive time.
On December 31, 2023, WIYN and WDHI ceased operations.[12] In May 2024, Townsquare Media sold the stations, along with WTBD-FM (which had shut down at the same time) to the Family Life Network.[13] WIYN returned to the air October 8, 2024,[14] and changed its call sign to WCEB on December 6.[15]
