The station is owned by the Elgin Area School District U46 and licensed to Board of Education School District U-46. Founded in 1950, WEPS is the oldest non-commercial educational radio station in the state of Illinois.[1][2][3] WEPS broadcasts a public radio format as a member of Wisconsin Public Radio. WEPS also airs programming from National Public Radio and the BBC World Service.[4] HistoryOriginally licensed in 1950 to broadcast at 88.1 MHz, WEPS originally broadcast instructional programs to the Elgin Public Schools, local high school sporting events, and was partially staffed by students to give them experience in high school radio station operation.[1][5] The effort to bring WEPS on the air was led by Ernest C. Waggoner, director of audio-visual education for the school district.[1] The station originally had an ERP of 10 watts.[10] In 1960, the station's frequency was changed to 90.9 MHz, and its ERP was increased to 380 watts.[6] In 1977, the station began sharing time on the frequency with WDCB.[12] WEPS moved to its current 88.9 MHz frequency in 1987, after reaching an agreement with WDCB, which allowed WDCB to begin full-time operations.[7][8] The station became an affiliate of Wisconsin Public Radio's Ideas Network on September 28, 2005.[9][10] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book |title=Elgin: An American History |first=E.
