WCDL is an AM broadcasting radio station licensed to Carbondale, Pennsylvania. The station operates on a frequency of 1440 kHz with 5,000 Watts of power using a non-directional antenna during daytime hours only. However, the station has plans filed with the Federal Communications Commission to extend their broadcast hours to nighttime with a power reduction to 37 Watts (same non-directional signal) during that time period. The Federal Communications Commission considers WCDL a Class D AM broadcast station. Bold Gold Media Group are the current owners of WCDL.
The station flipped formats from Adult Standards to a mix of Tropical and Spanish language adult contemporary format in August 2007 branded as "Caliente" (translation from Spanish into English as "Hot") to serve the region's growing Hispanic population. Former sister station WNAK, 730 kHz, located in Nanticoke, started simulcasting WCDL programming in October 2007.
In late 2008 WCDL returned to the Adult Standards format, simulcasting with WNAK 730 kHz under the slogan "The Greatest Music of All Time".
As of 2011, WCDL was simulcasting with WICK and WYCK.
