 By maintaining a station licensed to Union City, WCTL would be able to change its city of license to Erie and move its signal closer to the population center of Erie County.The FCC granted construction permits for the project; on January 2, 2019 construction was completed, and program testing began on the new WCTL facility near the intersection of US 19 and Interstate 90.Since the mid-1980s, WCTL has provided live coverage of high school football contests as a service to the community, expanding from single team coverage to multiple schools in 1993.
