History.
WEEU began broadcasting January 4, 1932, on 830 kHz with 1 KW power (daytime only). In 1941 their frequency was changed to 850 kHz as a result of NARBA, and in 1949 they added a directional nighttime signal. In 1999 WEEU moved back to 830 kHz with a more powerful 5 kW daytime and 6 kW nighttime signal from a new five-tower transmitter site just north of I-78 near Shartlesville, PA
