History
After WVON moved from 1450 AM to 1390 AM in 1975, both Migala Communications and Midway Broadcasting filed applications to establish a new station on the vacated frequency. Between 1976 and 1979, WFMT was granted an interim license to simulcast on 1450 AM.[2][3] In 1979, Migala and Midway reached an agreement to divide the broadcast week between them in a time sharing agreement for two stations.[3]
WCEV was on the air from 1Script error: No such module "String".p.m. to 10Script error: No such module "String".p.m. Monday through Friday; Midway's WXOL broadcast on 1450 during the remaining hours.[4] The two stations shared a transmitter site in South Lawndale, with WCEV's studios in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood.[5]
On January 9, 2020, Robert Feder reported that WCEV would be going out of business after 40 years on the air. The station signed off for the final time on January 20, 2020, at 10Script error: No such module "String".p.m.[6] WCEV's license was cancelled by the FCC on July 30, 2021.[7]
