Company Profile
On the air for more than five decades, WLKR
continues to be one of the more successful and
far-reaching community-based radio stations in
northern Ohio. The Milan-based 3,000-watt
station serves North Central Ohio from Vermilion
to Port Clinton and the Lake Erie Islands down
to Ashland. Area listeners view WLKR as a
community station that rocks during the day and
rolls with sports at night. Its wide variety of
programming ranges from music to extensive local
news coverage and sports broadcasting. The
latter includes the broadcast of Cleveland
Indians, Cleveland Cavaliers and The Ohio State
University basketball/football games, as well as
area high school sports. Sports programming has
always been a staple of WLKR, and it's unique
because it's the only FM stereo radio station
between Cleveland and Columbus that carries the
wide variety of both local and professional
sports. The station's "It's About the Music"
positioning means audiences are getting one of the
widest ranges of musical selections offered in the
State of Ohio. It's probably the largest playlist of
any commercial radio station in the area. The Adult
Contemporary station carefully balances classic rock
artists (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Van Morrison,
Led Zeppelin) with '80s rockers (U2 and The Police), '90s
favorites (Green Day, The Bare Naked Ladies, Dave Matthews
Band and Pearl Jam) and new millennium acts (Norah Jones,
John Mayer, Coldplay and K.T. Tunstall). We're an adult
station appealing to those with a discerning taste in music.
