It's Harold Glunt, by the way. (Trust me, I'm the world's most experienced chronicler of the Glunt Story.
)
I don't know what the exact connection was between WGRP/WEXC (and WANR/Warren) and WCER. I know they were connected at some point, but I don't think Beacon ever actually owned WCER. WCER's operations guy, John Amrhein, is a regular here on this board, and perhaps he can flll in the blanks.
There's no connection at all these days.

From what I understand, the Christian formats never took off with listeners to WEXC and WGRP, and the almighty airforce network lasted for a little less than a year in 2002 (before my time at WCER). The connection is WCER's CEO/GM Jack Ambrozic, who was a shareholder in Beacon until the recent sale to Harold Glunt.

Where've ya been, my friend?
A while back, steel industry supplier Harold Glunt (Glunt Industries), who was once a minority shareholder in Beacon Broadcasting, filed to buy out Mr. Arch and when the transaction is completed, Mr. Glunt will own 100% of the company.
He's been very busy since then, moving to buy other stations (WLOA/1470 Farrell PA and WRTK/1540 Niles in specific) and launched the Christian rock format "Freq 107" on WEXC/107.1 Greenville PA, targetting Youngstown/Warren. 107.1's former "Wexy" oldies format has landed (name and all) on 1470, and now also on Beacon's WGRP/940 Greenville PA.
(Oh, for what it's worth, 1540 is now silent, though I don't know if that's long-term or weather related. 940 was silent until this week, and before that, carried the "Cool 101.7" oldies format out of WMVL/101.7 in the Meadville PA market.)

Mr. Arch is still involved, but as sales manager for Glunt's operations.
