WEAG History

WEAG was patterned after the former WEGL-FM 106.1 in Philadelphia. Owner Ben Dickerson had been an engineer and sportscaster for WCAU-AM 1210, Philadelphia, before moving to Florida and, along with his wife Ruth, acquiring the former WPXE-AM/FM. In 1989 WEAG became adult contemporary "Love 106.3" dropping the "Eagle" moniker but keeping the WEAG call letters. In 1993 "Eagle 106.3" returned with a format change back to modern country.
