By June 30, 1924, WTAM was broadcasting with 1,000 watts and sharing

8349-476: The following 18 months. FirstEnergy Solutions Corp., the company's then-competitive subsidiary, managed 13,000 MW of generating capacity and was a leading energy supplier serving residential, commercial and industrial customers in the Northeast, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. It was anticipated that some generating units would be sold and that others would be shut down. Robert E. Murray , CEO of Murray Energy, warned in August, 2017 that FirstEnergy Solutions Corp.

8470-427: The form of Ohio House Bill 6, which increased electricity rates and provided that money as a $ 150 million per year bailout for the two above-mentioned nuclear plants (Perry and Davis–Besse). The stock price of the company plummetted within hours of the arrests being made. FirstEnergy denied involvement in the charges. State legislators quickly announced plans for a bill to repeal H.B. 6. Several organizations called on

8591-439: The formation of Allegheny Energy, the holding company was known as Allegheny Power System which had the three utility operating units. The brand name Allegheny Power was used on customer bills, trucks and company equipment starting in 1996. In 1997, the company attempted to merge with Pittsburgh-based Duquesne Light Company . The merger was withdrawn by both parties, and the companies did not merge. In 1999, Allegheny Power purchased

8712-555: The holding company for GPU’s three utility operating companies: In 2001, FirstEnergy, with its four utility operating companies, merged with GPU, Inc., folding GPU's three additional operating companies into FirstEnergy. Through the 2001 acquisition of GPU, FirstEnergy also acquired MYR Group (formerly MYR on the NYSE), a subsidiary that GPU had created as a publicly traded company in the 1996 reorganization. MYR Group’s services included installing and maintaining utility power lines and cellular telephone communications towers. GPU

8833-504: The last radio show, aired on 29 December 1955. In 1953, Siedel initiated a weekly television version of the Ohio Story. For two years, the Ohio Story radio and TV episodes overlapped. One hundred seventy-five Ohio Story TV episodes were produced. Ray Culley of Cinécraft Productions , owner of a sponsored film studio in Cleveland, Ohio , directed the television episodes. Stuart Buchanan

8954-472: The lead play-by-play voice for both the Indians and Cavaliers. In addition to Franklin, Morrow and Tait, the daytime lineup included at one time or another, Phil McLean, Al James, Jim Davis, Jack Reynolds, Tony Matthews, Jeff Elliot, Johnny Andrews, Lanny Wheeler, Lee Andrews, Ted Alexander and Bill King. Both WWWE and WWWM slowly severed the last remaining ties to WKYC-TV and its prior NBC ownership throughout

9075-480: The money, combined with the idea of climbing that one last big mountain, was too much for him to resist. Nev Chandler As May 1987 began, Lake Erie entered into negotiations to sell WWWE to Jacor for $ 14 million; Jacor already owned WBBG and WMJI—the former WWWM—while concurrently putting WBBG up for sale. Had the deal closed, WWWE would have been added to a growing portfolio that included Cincinnati 's WLW and Denver 's KOA . The WWWE sale, however,

9196-405: The most negative attention. 38 days after his show debuted, a WJW-TV report filed by Carl Monday revealed Newton was previously convicted on charges of purchasing a videotape that contained child pornography . After winding up on a mailing list after purchasing an art film containing nudity, government agents attempted to bait him with porn mail catalogs , and he purchased a tape after

9317-500: The overnight hours. The summer 1985 Arbitron book showed substantial ratings increases for WWWE after the switch to talk, surprising even the station's management and resulting in one paper calling their fifth-place showing "almost a Modell Miracle". Ratings for WWWE remained higher than with the MOR format, but slowly stagnated against WERE despite a substantial promotional campaign centered around Pollis, Rose and Franklin. Larry Elder , who

9438-463: The passage of the Radio Act of 1927, WTAM along with sister station WEAR (at that point absorbed into WTAM entirely) claimed the clear channel frequency allocated to Cleveland, and on November 11, 1928, it began broadcasting at 1070 kHz with WTAM broadcasting at 50,000 watts. In 1929 the station built two broadcast towers in Brecksville, Ohio , each 200 feet high. With its national prominence as

9559-532: The price of these stations". Concurrent with the purchase and to meet regulatory approval, Lake Erie divested WJW to Booth American for $ 2.1 million. Not included in the sale was WJW's talk format, which Lake Erie opted to "move" outright to WWWE. Nearly all of WJW's air talent and management were reassigned to WWWE, with Pete Franklin's Sportsline as the lone program retained. While neither WJW or WWWE had strong ratings, WJW's talk format had been drawing more younger listeners than competitor WERE, while WWWE

9680-552: The prime time slot. WKYC "Radio 11" was a large record-selling influence as far away as New York City and Miami. However, its main local competition in those days was WIXY (1260 AM; "Super Radio"). Unlike WIXY, WKYC – being an NBC owned-and-operated station in a situation not unlike WRC (980 AM) in Washington – was obligated to carry all NBC Radio programming such as the weekend Monitor , as well as all top-of-the-hour NBC Radio newscasts. The NBC Radio afternoon daily network news feed

9801-455: The production rights to the Browns and Indians networks from Sports Marketing, controlled by Tom Wilson. The transaction was delayed for several months due to the FCC investigation against Dee with WWWE later paying an $ 8,000 fine. The outgoing Independent Group management retained the ability to hire Tom Hamilton as Herb Score's Indians broadcast partner prior to the start of the 1990 season with Booth's blessing. Booth's takeover of WWWE

9922-591: The program for nationwide broadcast on the NBC Red Network, and it aired six days a week for five years. WTAM also originated the venerable Lum and Abner show on the NBC Red Network five days a week during one year of its run from May 22, 1933, to March 30, 1934, sponsored by the Ford Dealers of America. NBC began to make substantial investments to station facilities in the 1930s. WTAM moved their studio operations to 815 Superior Avenue on February 7, 1937; renamed

10043-406: The ratings. NBC Talknet was dropped in favor of ABC Radio's Tom Snyder and Sally Jessy Raphael , with Snyder marking the WWWE addition by interviewing the station's overnight board operator, coincidentally named Tom Snyder. Anthony only lasted for five months before resigning in mid-June 1989, one week after weekender Geoff Sindelar took over as Sportsline host; Sindelar had gained notoriety as

10164-679: The rights. At the time, the Browns nor FirstEnergy motioned that the agreement would be revoked. The Browns then announced on April 13, 2023 that the team and FirstEnergy had come to an agreement to immediately terminate the naming rights deal, restoring the name of the venue to Cleveland Browns Stadium . During the COVID-19 pandemic in March, 2020, the company stopped power shutoffs and restored connections for those whose power had been terminated because of non-payment. They also requested that customers who were facing hardship paying their utility bills contact

10285-463: The station later apologized. Dee's often-inflammatory remarks, coupled with several off-color statements by Drennan on Sportsline , soon prompted Dyer to ask, "is WWWE trying to corner the market on racism?" A fishing boat owned by Dee was intentionally burned while he was on vacation, prompting WWWE to offer a cash reward in exchange for information. It was David "Fig" Newton, who returned to WWWE as afternoon host on April 11, 1988, that netted

10406-520: The station's fifth overall ownership change since 1972. The cash considerations were a motivating factor for Independent to sell off WWWE while the company's principals were happy to retain an AM property. Without Dee, WWWE fell to ninth place in the Arbitron book, while WRMR ranked at tenth place. Booth retained the Cavaliers radio network flagship rights, transferring it back to WWWE, while also purchasing

10527-574: The station's license into question. Booth American (later Secret Communications) took over WWWE in 1990, revamping the lineup several times and hiring Mike Trivisonno as Sportsline host in 1994, later moving him to afternoon drive to much success. WWWE re-adopted the WTAM call letters in 1996 to reinforce the station's position on the AM band; station management considered the historical tie "a nice bonus, but... more incidental than anything else". Purchased by Jacor in 1997, WTAM has been owned by Clear Channel since 1999, renamed iHeartMedia in 2014. WTAM

10648-416: The station's license, which was up for renewal, could be revoked. Dee was fired on August 31, 1989, with the station merely explaining the move as "a decision... to pursue a different direction" and denied it had anything to do with the complaint, while Dee claimed, "they had every reason to fire me because I didn't follow directions". Dee's ratings overall had been a disappointment for WWWE management, as he

10769-426: The station. Citing disappointing ratings and a waning audience in the market overall for country music, WWWE quietly switched back to an easy listening/MOR format in August 1983, again using the 3WE brand. Gannett sold off both WWWE and WDOK to Lake Erie Broadcasting, controlled by then- Cleveland Browns majority owner Art Modell and minority owner Al Lerner , for $ 9.5 million in February 1985. The purchase

10890-536: The talk format's "new home" on WWWE and Booth American's replacement format on WJW, rechristened as WRMR. Indeed, the switchover at 11:00 a.m. on June 11, 1985, had a "final sign-off" for WJW followed by Cleveland mayor George Voinovich pressing a ceremonial switch on WWWE that completed the "move" of WJW's prior talk format. Along with Franklin, the "new" WWWE's lineup boasted an all-news block in morning drive, followed by hosts John McCullough, Michael Freedman, Merle Pollis and Joel Rose, with NBC Talknet in

11011-583: The trade was finalized, Westinghouse complained to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Justice Department about NBC's coercion . It was discovered that Westinghouse only agreed to the trade when NBC made implications that it would pull its television programming from WPTZ and Westinghouse's other NBC affiliate, WBZ-TV in Boston. In 1964, after a protracted legal battle,

11132-539: The two stations' facilities and broadcast licenses remained the same. WKYC continued as a Top 40 outlet—the only such-formatted station under NBC ownership—with personalities Harry Martin, Specs Howard, Jay Lawrence and Jerry G holding over from KYW/Westinghouse. When program director Ken Draper left for WCFL in Chicago in early 1965, prior to the ownership change, both Jim Stagg and Jim Runyon wasted no time following him. Bill Winters came in about this time. Jim LaBarbara

11253-721: Was a member of FirstEnergy Generation, LLC –itself a generation subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp.–while FirstEnergy Corp. itself remained solvent. The case has been closely watched as it could have significant implications for the U.S. power sector. For instance, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Ohio has asserted its primacy over the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) relating to some of FirstEnergy Solutions Corp.’s FERC-regulated power purchase agreements. FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. filed its eighth amended bankruptcy plan on October 14, 2019. In 2020, it emerged from bankruptcy. The company’s post-bankruptcy fate

11374-424: Was a publicly traded holding company that began in 1930 from the consolidation of 200 electric companies. By 1950, it ended up with two utility operating companies, Pennsylvania Power and Ohio Edison. It continued in existence until 1997, when its merger with Centerior formed FirstEnergy. Centerior Energy Corporation (formerly CX on the NYSE) was formed in 1986 from the affiliation of two public utilities. Centerior

11495-675: Was acquired with plans for a restructuring and layoffs to cut costs. That same month the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) initiated an investigation into the reliability of FirstEnergy's energy transmission in the context of possible plant shutdowns and prior problems with Centerior. In 2001, FirstEnergy merged with GPU, Inc., the owner of Jersey Central Power & Light Company, Pennsylvania Electric Company (Penelec), and Metropolitan Edison Company (Met-Ed). FirstEnergy later merged with Greensburg, Pennsylvania-based Allegheny Energy in 2011. FirstEnergy Services Corp.

11616-480: Was also based from WKYC's studios and anchored by Virgil Dominic, who also served as WKYC-TV's lead news anchor. On February 1, 1968, at 3:05 pm, following an NBC Radio newscast, the station altered its presentation to Power Radio, a derivative of the Drake-Chenault -created " Boss Radio " Top-40 format, programmed for WKYC by Hal Moore. The new sound emphasized "more music" with less chatter between songs and

11737-517: Was based in Independence, Ohio and existed as a publicly traded holding company for ten years until its merger with Ohio Edison formed FirstEnergy in 1997: General Public Utilities (formerly GPU on the NYSE) was a publicly traded utility holding company in Parsippany, New Jersey . In 1996, the company was reorganized and renamed GPU, Inc. Also in 1996, it formed a new division, GPU Energy, which became

11858-728: Was born in Strongsville, Ohio . Siedel attributed his home-spun story-telling style of writing to his experiences listening to the pot-bellied stove storytellers in his father's general store. He began his scriptwriting career in 1936 as a freelance writer, working for radio stations WHKC in Columbus, Ohio and WCAE in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania . In 1940 he took a job with ESCAR Motion Pictures in Cleveland. When World War II broke out, he wrote scripts for over 100 armed forces training films. In 1946, Siedel started working with Cinécraft Productions as

11979-409: Was brought in from Birmingham, Alabama , to host Fuller's former midday slot. Pete Franklin also "returned" to WWWE with daily sports commentaries during the morning and afternoon shows. The biggest change, however, occurred on December 23, 1989, when Booth American purchased WWWE from Independent Group in exchange for $ 10 million in cash and WRMR, effectively making the deal an asset swap and

12100-405: Was elected to the first State of Ohio Board of Education where he successfully fought to have Ohio history taught in public schools. Siedel was married twice. Alyce Louise van den Mooter (1911 –1978) and Siedel had three children: sons James and Jonathan and daughter, Jeri Siedel Audiano. In 1982 he married Mardith Ray Jacobson [later Hany]. He died on Catawba Island, Ohio in 1988 and is buried in

12221-875: Was fired from WWWE for the second time in one year, this time owing to a disagreement over paid vacations. Former WSLR executive Harvey Simms was hired by the outgoing management to be the station's marketing director, then was promoted to general manager by the new ownership less than three months later. David George, a station veteran of eight years, was also promoted from production director to program director. I'm amazed at his instinct for entertainment. I don't even know whether he actually knows how he does it, but knowing what's going to make people respond—for better, for worse, or whatever—is totally natural for him. A lot of people say, 'I hate what Gary did yesterday, I hate what he did today, and I'm gonna hate what he does tomorrow, too.' David George, WWWE program director, on Gary Dee Despite Bruce Drennan's open lobbying for

12342-604: Was hired after Harvey Simms learned about his availability through reading a Beacon Journal story about his departure from WKDD days earlier. Anthony promptly cut down the volume of commercials WWWE was obligated to run via radio network commitments to 14 minutes per hour; at one point, the station aired as much as 20 to 22 minutes of commercials per hour. Rumors emerged of Anthony replacing Drennan with XETRA-AM announcer Lee Hamilton , as both previously worked together in Akron, while Greg Brinda's WERE show started to outdraw Drennan in

12463-510: Was in danger of bankruptcy if the White House would not issue an emergency order to open coal-fired plants. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) unanimously rejected a United States Department of Energy (DOE) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) to subsidize coal and nuclear plants in January, 2018. FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on March 31, 2018. As

12584-483: Was incorporated on August 8, 1997 with the primary purpose of providing intracompany services, such as operation of subsidiary generation companies and financial transactions. It underwent several mergers and fictitious name filings beginning with its first filed merger on March 31, 1998.

12705-528: Was interested in divesting some or all of their radio stations, NBC sold both WKYC and WKYC-FM to Ohio Communications, headed by sports franchiser Nick Mileti and investment firm C. F. Kettering, for approximately $ 5.5 million in a deal announced January 12, 1972. Broadcast executives Tom and Jim Embrescia joined the ownership group as vice-president/general manager and sales manager, respectively. The AM radio station's call letters were changed to WWWE (purportedly for Embrescia or Entertainment) and adopted

12826-634: Was involved with local television productions in Cleveland, was inspired to enter talk radio after sitting in as a guest on Pollis' WWWE show. The station bid aggressively against WHK and WERE to retain the Cleveland Indians rights during the summer of 1986, while Franklin—who now additionally did weekend work for St. Louis 's KMOX —again threatened to leave WWWE if it lost the Indians games. McCullough and Freedman were both fired as part of an October 1986 lineup shakeup, but Freedman returned less than two months later following Joel Rose's resignation after

12947-531: Was jeopardized after Franklin announced intentions to leave WWWE for a lucrative two-year contract with New York City's WHN to headline a new all- sports format to be named " WFAN ". Days after the announcement, Franklin underwent emergency quadruple bypass surgery at the Cleveland Clinic following a massive heart attack, which some attributed to stress over the New York move while Franklin attributed it to

13068-560: Was now one of the lowest-rated stations outside of sports programming. Dismissed with the move were Ray Marshall, David "Fig" Newton, Jack Reynolds and morning sportscaster Bruce Drennan along with eight other staffers. Franklin repeatedly threatened to leave WWWE during the latter days of Gannett ownership, and Drennan was seen in some circles as a potential replacement to host Sportsline . WJW general manager Art Caruso and news director John O'Day assumed like duties at WWWE, and were tasked with hiring Jim Muller's broadcast partner for

13189-488: Was often compared to onetime WERE host Morton Downey Jr. , while the Beacon Journal 's Bob Dyer said, "he makes Jerry Falwell sound like a flaming liberal ". After the acquittal of a Lorain man on charges of molesting his daughter, Dee publicly attacked both the judge and county prosecutor , insinuating that their children should be raped while going into graphic detail on the case and giving out their phone numbers;

13310-553: Was one of the New Source Review lawsuits filed in the 1990s. To provide cleaner energy to its customers, FirstEnergy took several important steps in 2009. First, the company announced plans in April to repower Units 4 and 5 at its R.E. Burger Power Station in Shadyside, Ohio , to generate electricity principally with biomass , the only base load renewable source that can displace coal emissions. Furthermore, FirstEnergy hosted

13431-473: Was only temporary as syndicator ABC Radio planned on cancelling it by that September. Lee Kirk from Toledo 's WSPD was ultimately brought in for the timeslot. The station went aggressive on news with rolling all-news blocks launched in morning and afternoon drive along with an hourlong noon block. A 12-person 24-hour news department was instituted with ABC-Information newscasts replacing CBS; Booth executive Roger Turner cited ABC's "tighter writing and

13552-477: Was previously a perennially top-rated host at WERE and WHK. The FCC's anti-indecency campaign specifically cited Dee's June 15, 1989, show for multiple discussions on-air regarding sexual fantasies and behavior; WWWE was one of eight stations given a 30-day notice by the agency to address the allegations. The station filled the vacancy left by Dee with Bob Becker paired with friend and radio novice Luther Heggs, while Bob Fuller returned to mornings, and Beth Albright

13673-419: Was regarded in the local press as a "purge" with much of the airstaff going on-air to discuss their fates. Dismissed were Bob Fuller, Beth Albright, Bob Becker, Luther Heggs, Steve Church and Bruce Drennan, with Geoff Sindelar retained as Sportsline host on an interim basis. Lee Hamilton again expressed interest in joining WWWE, having been friends with much of the new Booth management, but could not agree to

13794-582: Was required to pay US$ 1.5 billion by 2011 as part of a settlement to end a lawsuit filed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency . This lawsuit alleged that the company failed to install pollution control equipment when upgrading its coal burning plants. Also as part of the settlement, major pollution control equipment is now being installed at the FirstEnergy Sammis generation plant and at other sites. This lawsuit

13915-523: Was seen by some as a surprise: Lake Erie consistently lost money operating WJW since purchasing it from Storer Communications in 1977, and was under financial pressure to sell WJW when that station's format changed from MOR to talk radio in July 1982. WJW made a winning bid for the Browns radio broadcast rights that included the team taking an ownership stake in the station, but minority owner Robert Gries sued Modell on charges of anti-competitive practices and existing flagship WHK matched WJW's bid for

14036-429: Was shot , they had a guy lined up in a few minutes, but it has taken them seven months to replace (me)... what that tells me is the new owners don't have the money to pay anybody." WWWE also conducted a newspaper poll to help choose Franklin's successor; Dan Coughlin , who also was a Sportsline fill-in host, retrospectively called the polling process less honest than the "fan vote" for the 1988 MLB All-Star Game and

14157-452: Was sold to Combined Communications, Inc. in December 1976 for $ 7.5 million, consummated the following September; Ohio Communications retained WWWM. Combined Communications subsequently merged into Globe Broadcasting Corp., owner of WMGC (1260 AM) and WDOK ; WMGC was spun off to comply with then-existing ownership rules. Gannett then merged into Combined Communications in June 1979 in

14278-404: Was termed "rock radio without the music". Even with all the controversy, WWWE ascended to fourth place in the spring 1988 Arbitron book, helped largely by Dee and the Indians. However, the station's Indians commitments caused the majority of the Cavaliers' 1988 playoff run to air on WRMR and WDOK instead. In response, Joe Tait—who had taken over as head of Cavaliers broadcasting operations —ended

14399-426: Was the producer for both the radio and TV series. The narrator of the radio-TV series was initially Robert Waldrop, and later, Nelson Olmsted (1914–1982). William Ellis, Lee Templeton, and Leo Trefzger co-wrote with Siedel some of the later scripts. Anson Hardman, General Advertising Manager of Ohio Bell, coordinated the radio series project and did much of the early episode research. The radio and TV series sponsor for

14520-567: Was two-fold. First, the company incorporated in Delaware under the name Energy Harbor Corp. and has since continued to operate in Ohio under the same name. For legal purposes, Energy Harbor Corp. is registered in Ohio as a foreign entity. Secondly regarding post-bankruptcy fate, FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. has also continued its existence as an actively chartered Ohio company, but this is only on paper rather than in practice: that entity does not conduct any business. In March, 2018, FirstEnergy announced

14641-447: Was wooed away from a three-day stint at WIXY to do evening prime time. Chuck Dann signed on, as did Charlie and Harrigan (Jack Woods and Paul Menard), the morning duo at KLIF (1190 AM) in Dallas . Jim Gallant was doing overnights. In late 1966, popular afternoon host Jerry G also decided to follow Draper to WCFL; upon his departure, he added the last name "Bishop", and later created
