History

This station received its license to cover from the Federal Communications Commission on October 10, 1980. The new station was assigned the call letters WDLK by the FCC.

In December 1988, Fidelity Broadcasting, Inc., reached an agreement to sell this station to Dale Broadcasting, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on January 12, 1989, and the transaction was consummated on February 28, 1989.

In July 1997, Dale Broadcasting, Inc., reached an agreement to sell this station to Little America Business Organization. The deal was approved by the FCC on August 21, 1997, and the transaction was consummated on October 17, 1997.

In June 2000, Little America Business Organization (Dr. James Nicholls, principal) reached an agreement to sell this station to Progressive United Communications Inc. (Frank C. Cummings, chairman) for a reported sale price of $45,000. The deal was approved by the FCC on September 12, 2000, and the transaction was consummated on November 6, 2000.
