WCLY (1550 AM; "That Station") is a radio station located in Raleigh, North Carolina. It is owned by Capitol Broadcasting Company along with sister radio stations WRAL-FM, WCMC-FM and WDNC, and television stations WRAL-TV and WRAZ-TV. Its studios are located in Raleigh, and the transmitter tower is just south of downtown Raleigh. Established in 1962 as WNOH, WCLY broadcasts an adult album alternative format. The station is also simulcast on translator station W239CK (95.7 FM).

History

WCLY began broadcasting in August 1962 as WNOH as a country station founded by N.O. Harris, owner of Harris Wholesale, a local beer distributor. WNOH's original antenna was close to where present-day Interstate 40 crosses Lake Wheeler Road, and its studios were located in the Jack Wardlaw Building on Hillsborough Street. WNOH switched to Top 40 as WYNA in 1966, only to return to country under former WKIX owner Hugh Holder. As country music began taking root on the FM dial, WYNA became Top 40 again as WRZR "The Rock of Raleigh" in 1982.

The Top 40 format did not last long, and the station became WSES in 1983 and switched to black gospel. Construction of I-40 through southern Raleigh forced the station to move their antenna to Maywood Avenue, where it shared a tower with WLLE (now WQDR). By 1987, the current WCLY calls were adopted. In the late 1990s, both WCLY and the former WLLE (which was WDTF at the time) were bought by Curtis Media Group.

It was announced on August 10, 2009 that Curtis Media would sell WCLY and WDNC to Capitol Broadcasting Company in exchange for the North Carolina News Network.[1] WCLY later switched to Spanish language sports radio from ESPN Deportes Radio in October.[2]

On February 29, 2016, WCLY relaunched as an English-language sports station, "1550 the Ticket". The station featured a mix of sports programming from ESPN Radio, CBS Sports Radio, and Fox Sports Radio, which also aired on WCMC-FM 99.9-HD3. ESPN Deportes continued to air on 99.9-HD4.[3]

On February 1, 2017, WCLY signed on an FM translator at 95.7 FM and changed its moniker to "95.7 the Ticket".[4] The translator on 95.7 FM broadcasts with an effective radiated power of 250 watts with a directional signal (towards the north) from the WDCG tower. In addition, WCLY also broadcasts Appalachian State football, NASCAR, and North Carolina FC soccer.

On May 1, 2018, WCLY changed its format to adult album alternative, branded as "That Station". The "Ticket" sports format moved to WDNC.[5] Musical styles range from roots, Americana, bluegrass, rhythm & blues, rock and country. Artists include Jason Isbell, Nathaniel Rateliff, Avett Brothers, The Decemberists and Ryan Adams.[6] Capitol Broadcasting ran a contest in which listeners were invited to submit ideas for a permanent name, but the vast majority of the nominations were to keep the name "That Station".[7]

FM Translator

In addition to the main station at 1550 kHz, WCLY is relayed by an FM translator. The FM frequency is in fact used in the station branding and logo.
