WESO (970 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Catholic radio format, simulcasting sister station WNEB in Worcester. Established in 1955, the station is licensed to serve Southbridge, Massachusetts, United States. WESO is owned by Holy Family Communications,[1] and operates as part of The Station of the Cross.
History
WESO broadcast a country music format as "The Spirit 970" until October 2008, when the station began to simulcast the business talk programming of then-sister station WBNW in Concord. On June 13, 2014, Money Matters Radio, Inc. reached a deal to sell WESO to Emmanuel Communications, Inc., the owner of WNEB. The deal closed on August 29, 2014, at a purchase price of $250,000. Following the sale, WESO was converted to noncommercial operation[2] and began to carry WNEB's "Emmanuel Radio" programming, which included programming from EWTN Radio.[3]
Holy Family Communications, owner of WQOM in Natick and stations in New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, began operating WESO and WNEB under a local marketing agreement on January 1, 2022. The stations became part of Holy Family's The Station of the Cross network.[4] In early 2024, Holy Family bought the stations outright for $1,000.[5] Holy Family announced its plans to sell WESO, WNEB and WACE in Chicopee to Journey for Life Media for $150,000 in May 2025.[6]
