Coastal Country AM 1330 and FM 105.7: country music for the Eastern Shore of Virginia, on the air and online.
📻 History: Coastal Country is the country music brand of WESR 1330 AM, a station licensed to Onley-Onancock, Virginia, and serving the Eastern Shore of Virginia. WESR first went on the air on January 23, 1958, and its call sign stands for "W Eastern Shore Radio." It is owned and operated by Eastern Shore Radio, Inc., which also runs sister station WESR-FM 103.3 The Shore.
The AM signal is a Class D facility that transmits with 5,000 watts during the day and drops to just 51 watts at night, which sharply limits its nighttime reach. To widen its coverage, especially after dark, the station is relayed by the FM translator W289CE at 105.7 MHz, licensed to Onley-Onancock with 250 watts, and that is why the station brands itself as Coastal Country AM 1330 and FM 105.7.
Its transmitter sits near Onley, on Virginia's Eastern Shore peninsula. Today the station programs a country music format for listeners across the Delmarva coast and streams online for anyone outside the signal area.
