Some History of WLRQ
Thanks to Dave Kelly for a bit of history. "...WLRQ-EZY Communications was private company managed by the Klepper family out of Ohio. Tanya Klepper was the GM. In 1997 Commodore Media transferred ownership to Capstar in ’98, then AMFM and finally Clear Channel a few years ago."
