WEKL, also known as "Eagle 105.7" is a Classic rock radio station located in Augusta, Georgia. The station is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to broadcast on 105.7 FM with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 100 kW.

WEKL signed on in July 1994. It began life as Eagle 102 - Classic Hits, broadcasting on the 102.3 frequency. That frequency had previously been WGUS - Big Gus (Country), Power 102 (CHR), and Froggy 102 (Country). Eventually, it became a Classic Hits station before settling on the Classic Rock format. After years of dominating the rock market in Augusta with only a 6000 Watt signal, on August 13, 2007 WEKL traded frequencies with sister Country station WIBL, becoming "Eagle 105.7" while WIBL moved to 102.3, becoming "102.3 The Bull".

The 105.7 frequency began as WAUG. The station was sold in 1980 and became WYMX with a Album Rock format known as "Rock 106". This format lasted until 1984 when it became WFMG with an Adult Contemporary format known as "M105". WFMG became "Sunny 105" in early 1986 under the WZNY call letters. In 1994, WZNY was acquired by Savannah Valley Broadcasting, which owned longtime contemporary hit radio outlet WBBQ. A format and airstaff swap was done in August of that year as WBBQ went AC and WZNY became CHR and within a year's time came to be known as Y-105. In September, 2004, WZNY was reborn as "105.7 The Bull", a Gold-leaning Country outlet with the new call letters of WIBL. On April 1, 2010, WIBL flipped it's format back to Top 40, becoming "Y102.3".

The station is owned by Clear Channel Communications.
