WELY

WELY (1450 AM) and WELY-FM (94.5 FM) are a pair of simulcast radio stations based in the town of Ely, Minnesota, United States. WELY serves the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, which Ely is a popular gateway to, and surrounding towns and areas of northeastern Minnesota. The stations were sold to Wisconsin company Civic Media as of February 2025.

WELY (AM) was founded in 1954; WELY-FM was added in 1992. The new radio station, established as part of the 2025 revival of the station, is downtown. Both stations share a transmitter site south of town. Provided by Wikipedia
