WEGE

WEGE (104.9 FM) — branded 104.9 The Eagle — is a commercial classic rock radio station licensed to Lima, Ohio. Owned by Childers Media Group LLC, the station serves Allen County and is the local affiliate for Nights with Alice Cooper. Both the WEGE studios and transmitter are located in Lima.

History

WEGE was founded in 1970 as WLSR (for "Lima Stereo Radio") airing a beautiful music format, which later moved to adult contemporary in 1986, after being purchased by Allen Broadcasting Company. Using the slogan Lite 105, the station featured live, local disc jockeys and newscasters in drive time, and the Transtar "Format 41" satellite service at all other times. In 1989, the station modified its nickname to Lite Rock 105, foregoing the satellite service in favor of all live, local disc jockeys.

In 1991, WLSR changed its nickname again, this time to "Mix 104.9," while continuing the adult contemporary format. In 1995, WLSR and its sister AM station, WCIT, became among the first stations in the United States to operate using computers to store and play all music and commercials. The system, built by Scott Studios, allowed the stations to operate in live or fully automated modes, with disc jockeys broadcasting live, or pre-recording their voice tracks into the system. In 1996, WLSR changed to an Urban format, changing its nickname to "105 Jamz" and its call letters to WLJM (standing for "Lima's Jamz"). In 1997, Allen Broadcasting Company sold both stations to Forever Broadcasting, which moved the Urban/R&B-format and call letters to the AM station, renamed "940 JAMZ" WLJM. The FM station was briefly known as adult contemporary WAJC from July 1997 to November 1999,

STS-114

STS-114 was the first "Return to Flight" Space Shuttle mission following the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. Discovery launched at 10:39 EDT (14:39 UTC), 26 July 2005. The launch, 907 days (approx. 29 months) after the loss of Columbia, was approved despite unresolved fuel sensor anomalies in the external tank that had prevented the shuttle from launching on 13 July, its originally scheduled date.

The mission ended on 9 August 2005 when Discovery landed at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Poor weather over the Kennedy Space Center in Florida hampered the shuttle from using its primary landing site.

Analysis of the launch footage showed debris separating from the external tank during ascent; it was the issue that had set off the Columbia disaster. As a result, NASA decided on 27 July to postpone future shuttle flights pending additional modifications to the flight hardware. Shuttle flights resumed a year later with STS-121 on 4 July 2006.
