WCLG (1300 AM) is an oldies and classic hits-formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Morgantown, West Virginia, serving Morgantown and Monongalia County, West Virginia. WCLG is owned and operated by Bowers Broadcasting Corporation.
Launched on December 27, 1954, WCLG broadcast a "music-news" format. The station was originally intended to be a part of a statewide network of stations. Over the years, the station was subject to an equal-time rule complaint and was awarded for its coverage of the Farmington Number 9 mine disaster. Many different formats were heard on WCLG during the 1970s and 1980s, with its current format launched in 1991. WCLG carries Cumulus Media Networks' satellite-fed Classic Hits network.
A planned 2013 sale of WCLG (and its sister-station WCLG-FM) was halted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) due to a complaint that the company buying the stations, AJG Corporation, has close connections with another local broadcaster, West Virginia Radio Corporation.
