The station's first program director was Bob Wells, who relocated from Cleveland, Ohio after a long stint as weatherman and comedy personality for WJW-TV. Wells and his wife, Barbara, also co-hosted an evening 90-minute Christian-themed interview, music and news program on WCLF called "Horizons 22". According to Wells, after a board member of WCLF objected to them on the show as lacking in spirituality (saying, "They look good, they sound good, but I just don't feel The Spirit moving there"), Wells and his wife were let go from WCLF after only three months. Later, John Wesley Fletcher, a founding member of the board of WCLF (and the one who objected to the Wells), was implicated in sex scandals involving "PTL Club" co-host Jim Bakker. Wells has expressed relief that he and his wife were no longer involved with the station by that time.
