WCEN-FM is a radio station
broadcasting a country music
format. WCEN has been licensed in Hemlock, Michigan
since 2001. It first began broadcasting in 1959 and was originally licensed in Mount Pleasant, Michigan
(though the tower location and signal pattern have not changed since the city of license change, and the station still has a local-grade signal in Mount Pleasant). The station has been playing country music since 1969 and as a full-time format since 1980.
WCEN has a relatively strong signal with the ability to reach the Mid-Michigan Thumb. During certain atmospheric conditions, it has the tendency to reach the Far northern Oakland County area, however the signal is not often strong that far south.
The station was once owned by Charles E. Anthony.
