WCUE (1150 AM) – branded Family Radio – is a non-commercial Christian radio station licensed to Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Owned by Family Stations, Inc., the station serves the Akron metro area. WCUE does not broadcast any local programming, functioning as a repeater for the Family Radio network. Both the WCUE studios and station transmitter are located in Cuyahoga Falls.
History
WCUE began in 1949 as a daytime-only station licensed to Akron, Ohio; the station callsign referred to a musical cue. In 1963, the station's city of license was assigned to Cuyahoga Falls. In the 1970s, WCUE aired a Top 40 format. In 1981, WCUE Radio, Inc. sold WCUE to Sackett Broadcasting Company; Sackett then installed the Music of Your Life format aimed at older adults. By 1984, WCUE was airing middle of the road music; Jerry Healey was among the on-air personalities heard during these later years.[1][2][3]
On October 22, 1986, Sackett Broadcasting donated WCUE to Family Radio of Oakland, California. In 1988, the daytime power increased from 1,000 to 2,500 watts; in 1990, the daytime power increased to 5,000 watts. In 2000, the license transitioned from commercial to non-commercial status. In 2002, Family Radio obtained a main station waiver, allowing WCUE to function solely as a repeater for the Family Radio network.[4]
Current programming
WCUE airs no local programming; all content is transmitted via satellite by the Family Radio network.[5]
