You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''WCLO''' (1230 [[AM broadcasting|AM]]) is a [[radio station]] broadcasting a [[News Talk Information|news–talk]] format. Licensed to [[Janesville, Wisconsin]], United States, the station serves the Janesville area. The station is currently owned by Benjamin Thompson and features programming from [[CBS News Radio]], [[Genesis Communications Network]], [[Premiere Networks]], [[Radio America (United States)|Radio America]], [[USA Radio Network]], and [[Westwood One]].<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/amq?call=WCLO |title=WCLO Facility Record |work=United States [[Federal Communications Commission]], audio division ))</ref>

==History==
WCLO was originally licensed on August 24, 1925 to C. E. Whitmore,<ref>[https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.b3221817&view=1up&seq=631 "New Stations"], ''Radio Service Bulletin'', September 1, 1925, page 3.</ref> broadcasting from [[Camp Lake, Wisconsin|Camp Lake]], west of [[Kenosha, Wisconsin|Kenosha]]. Its owner at that time was a real estate development company with a project called Camp Lake Oaks, from which came the call letters assigned by the government to the small 50-watt station. WCLO's first transmitting station had twin towers on County Highway A, four miles east of Janesville. For its first 11 years, the station operated as a daytime station, signing on at local sunrise and signing off at sunset.

After three years of operating at Camp Lake, WCLO was moved by its licensees to Kenosha.

Following the establishment of the [[Federal Radio Commission]] (FRC), stations were initially issued a series of temporary authorizations starting on May 3, 1927.<ref>[https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uiug.30112106763078&view=1up&seq=60 "List of broadcasting stations issued temporary permits"], ''Radio Service Bulletin'', April 30, 1927, pages 6-14.</ref> In addition, they were informed that if they wanted to continue operating, they needed to file a formal license application by January 15, 1928, as the first step in determining whether they met the new "public interest, convenience, or necessity" standard.<ref>[https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uiug.30112106763078&view=1up&seq=205 "Extension of Broadcasting Station Licenses"], ''Radio Service Bulletin'', December 31, 1927, page 7.</ref> On May 25, 1928, the FRC issued [[General Order 32]], which notified 164 stations, including WCLO, that "From an examination of your application for future license it does not find that public interest, convenience, or necessity would be served by granting it."<ref name=notice>[https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015011384305&view=1up&seq=182 "Appendix F (2): Letter to and list of stations included in General Order No. 32, issued May 25, 1928"], ''Second Annual Report of the Federal Radio Commission for the Year Ended June 30, 1928, Together With Supplemental Report for the Period From July 1, 1928 to September 30, 1928'', pages 146-149.</ref> However, the station successfully convinced the commission that it should remain licensed.

On November 11, 1928, the FRC made a major reallocation of station transmitting frequencies, as part of a reorganization resulting from its implementation of [[General Order 40]]. WCLO was assigned to 1200 kHz.<ref>[https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015011384305&view=1up&seq=214 "Broadcasting Stations"], ''Second Annual Report of the Federal Radio Commission'' (June 30, 1928), page 178.</ref>

In 1929, a group of Kenosha businessmen organized the WCLO Radio Corp., acquiring the rights to the station and receiving permission to increase its power to 100 watts. The WCLO Radio Corp. operated the station in Kenosha for a year.

On February 25, 1930, an agreement was reached transferring WCLO's license and equipment to Harry H. Bliss of Janesville. His son, Sidney H. Bliss, became president and general manager of the new venture. Studios were constructed on the third floor of The Gazette Building in Janesville. The station began broadcasting on August 1, 1930. Wisconsin Governor [[Walter J. Kohler, Sr.|Walter Kohler]] headed the list of guest speakers on the inaugural program. Broadcasts from The Gazette building studios were supplemented by remote control broadcasts that reached listeners throughout southern Wisconsin.

On March 29, 1941, the station moved from 1200&nbsp;kHz to 1230&nbsp;kHz, its location ever since, as part of the implementation of the [[North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement]].
