History
Owner C. Leslie Golliday, a prominent Martinsburg businessman, envisioned a group of stations in the state, and his early announcers used the tag line, "This is the Mountaineer station for the Eastern Panhandle," thus the call sign there of WEPM.[1] Another suggested meaning for EPM is "Eastern Panhandle, Martinsburg."
Golliday also owned WCLG-AM in Morgantown, WV which carried a similar tag line, "This is the Mountaineer station for northern West Virginia."
Golliday died in late June, 2007 at the age of 92.
Sale
On October 31, 2014, Prettyman Broadcasting announced the sale of WEPM to West Virginia Radio Corporation (WVRC) for an unknown sum.[4] Included in the same are sister stations WICL and WLTF.[4] WVRC assumed control of the stations, through a Local marketing agreement, on November 1.[4] The purchase was consummated on February 13, 2015, at a price of $3 million.
