History

During the 1960s the station was known as WHER and had an all female on-air staff, hence the call letters (W)HER. It later became WWEE featuring an all-talk format. The station gave birth to the longest running sports talk show "SportsLine" (now called "SportsTime"). "SportsLine" went on the air in 1972.Fact|date=December 2007

Notable former staff members include Marge Thrasher, Bill Thomas, George Lapides, Dick Palmer, Jim Fields, and Jeff Weinberger.Fact|date=December 2007
