WLKR (AM)


WLKR - branded 92.9 WLKR Classic - is a commercial daytime-only classic hits radio station licensed to serve Norwalk, Ohio, covering the Norwalk/Sandusky/Port Clinton market, including Erie and Huron counties. Owned by Elyria-Lorain Broadcasting Co., the WLKR studios are located in Milan, while the station transmitter resides near the intersection of Huber Road and Lamereaux Road just outside of Norwalk. In addition to a standard analog transmission, WLKR simulcasts over low-power analog Norwalk translator W225DG, and is also available online.

History

The station first signed on as WLKR, the AM side to the FM station. It became WVAC on January 28, 1991, and switched back to WLKR on May 30, 2002. WLKR carried Westwood One's Adult Standards format until December 2004, when it switched to oldies music. The format changed to sports/talk in August 2006, programmed exclusively with ESPN Radio as "ESPN 1510 WLKR".
WLKR's current classic hits format was adopted in late August 2010 as "Kool Gold 1510 WLKR," taking its branding from former syndicator Dial Global's Kool Gold format. After adding an FM translator in August 2019, the station was re-branded as "92.9 WLKR Classic."
