WELE (1380 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Ormond Beach, Florida, United States, and serving the Daytona Beach metropolitan area. Owned by Bethune-Cookman University, the station carries a progressive talk format branded as "1380 The Cat".[4]

History
On August 1, 1957, the station first signed on the air.[5] It originally held the call sign WQXQ.[5][1] It was a daytimer, with a power of 1,000 watts and required to go off the air at sunset.[1] Seeking identification with its target area, in 1969 the call sign was changed to WDAT.[1] The DAT stood for Daytona.
Nighttime operations were added in 1973, running 1,000 watts around the clock.[1] In 1977, the station's daytime power was increased to 5,000 watts, and its nighttime power was increased to 2,500 watts.[1] Its call sign was changed to WELE in 1986.[2]
In October 2013, Wings Communications donated the station's license to Bethune-Cookman University.[6] The donation was consummated on August 5, 2014.
Programming
WELE carries a number of nationally syndicated talk shows, including Russ Parr, Stephanie Miller and Democracy Now. WELE also broadcasts Bethune-Cookman University football and NFL games during the football season. World and national news is supplied by CBS News Radio.
