KWDC-LP is a Variety formatted broadcast radio station.[3] The station is licensed to and serving Stockton in California.[1][2] KWDC-LP is owned by San Joaquin Delta College and operated under their San Joaquin Delta Community College District licensee.[1]
History[]
The station officially launched on at just before "the stroke of Noon" on January 1, 2015,[4] but didn't officially get its License to Cover until April 6, 2015.[6]
On May 27, 2016, the station briefly signed off, though it did not file an application for special temporary authority with the Federal Communications Commission,[6] after its founding instructor William Story retired.[7] The student staff of KWDC-LP were to move to the Peace and Justice Network of San Joaquin Country-owned KXVS-LP to get their station on the air.[7][8] Unfortunately, the station's website URL and slogan "The Voice of Stockton" were trademarked by the station's former general manager, who also redirected all of KWDC-LP's social media accounts to KXVS'.[8] Eventually, KWDC-LP returned to the air on September 18, 2016.[8] Subsequently, KXVS-LP went silent in late-September 2017 and its license was lost in late-September 2018.[9]
