WBDK FM 96.7 is a radio station broadcasting a 60's-80's oldies format. Licensed to Algoma, Wisconsin, United States, the station serves the Green Bay area. The station is currently owned by Nicolet Broadcasting, Inc.

History

The station went on the air as WOMA on 1986-11-05 on the 96.5 MHz frequency by D & M Broadcasting. The station struggled for years and was sold in 1989 to Wheeler Broadcasting in Shawano, WI, who slowly introduced country music format by mixing it with its then-oldies format and progressed to make it all-country. Due to the large distance of other Wheeler Broadcasting holdings in relation to WOMA, Wheeler unloaded it to Nicolet Broadcasting in 1992 for $150,000.

A number of changes happened shortly after the change of ownership:

  • Moved their offices to Luxemburg to be closer to Green Bay, WI;
  • Changed the format to a "soft oldies" (Big Bands/Adult Standards of the 1940s through the 60's);
  • Frequency was later changed to 96.7 MHz in order to increase their broadcast range;
  • Changed its call sign to the current WBDK.
