WELJ
WELJ (104.7 FM) branded as "104.7 WELJ", is a commercial radio station licensed to Montauk, New York, and serving Eastern Long Island, and Southeastern Connecticut. It is owned by BOLD Broadcasting and airs a soft adult contemporary radio format. Its radio studios and offices are on Waverly Avenue in Holtsville, New York.
WELJ has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 6,000 watts. Its transmitter is off Montauk Highway (N.Y. State Route 27) near Lincoln Road in Montauk.
The station first signed on the air on February 19, 1993, as WBEA. It launched with an adult contemporary music format near identical to that which had been heard on WHFM (prior to its change to a relay of WBAB the previous year).[citation needed] However, within a year the format evolved to a Hot Adult Contemporary format with the Beach Radio name.
Beach Radio saw success in not just targeting Eastern Long Island but also seeking advertisers across Long Island Sound in the New London, Connecticut market where it delivers a listenable, though not local-quality signal.
When then-WBEA owner AAA Entertainment purchased WBAZ (101.7 FM) and WBSQ (102.5 FM) in 2000, the company began to realign its formats among its signals. After moving WBAZ to WBSQ's signal in May 2001, it was announced that WBEA would move to the former WBAZ frequency at 101.7 MHz with 104.7 becoming a New London rimshot. During the interim period, 104.7 had the temporary WCSO call letters.
In June 2001, AAA entered a deal with the Mohegan Sun casino to program and operate the then-WCSO, with AAA keeping technical operations. With the deal came a new format, classic rock, and the new call sign of WMOS. In 2003, AAA Entertainment sold WMOS and sister WWKX in the Providence market to Citadel Broadcasting.
On March 17, 2008, 104.7 and sister station 102.3 made a frequency swap. WXLM and its talk radio format was moved to 104.7, while WMOS and its classic rock format was moved to 102.3.
On September 21, 2010, WXLM changed its call sign to WELJ as part of a pending format change. The WXLM call sign was moved to 980 AM, replacing the historic call sign WSUB. Shortly after, the News/Talk format began to simulcast on 980 AM with frequent announcements that WXLM is moving to 980 AM.
