WELD (690 kHz) is a commercial Classic Hits formatted broadcast AM radio station licensed to Fisher, West Virginia, serving the Potomac Highlands of West Virginia. WELD is owned and operated by Thunder Associates, LLC.
By day, WELD is powered at 3,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna. But because 690 AM is a Canadian and Mexican clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations CKGM in Montreal and XEWW in Rosarito, WELD reduce power during critical hours, and reduce power at night to 14 watts.
History
[edit | edit source]By the 1950s, Richard Field Lewis Jr. (1907–1957) had added WELD (AM) to the Richard Field Lewis Jr. Stations (later Mid Atlantic Network Inc.).[2][3][4]
