History[]

In 1991, the station signed on as WWLF at 106.7 FM. The call sign was changed to the WBDI in 2000.

106.7 and 102.7 WBDR were simulcast as "The Border 102-7, 106-7," from 1996 until 2004. In late 2003, WBDI was simulcast on three frequencies: 92.7, 102.7 and 106.7 for a brief period until 102.7 left "The Border" network in 2004, separating from WBDI's format and dropping CHR to switch to a country music format. WBDI then was simulcast on WBDB 92.7 FM, known as ("The Border 92-7, 106-7"), until 2007. Now 106.7 is the only frequency broadcasting WBDR's programming.

On December 3, 2007, 92.7 WBDB changed its call letters to WQTK and flipped to a talk radio format, separating from WBDI's format. On February 26, 2008 WBDI changed its call letters to WBDR (with 102.7 changing call letters to WLYK on the same day).^[2]

Notable on-air personalities include Johnny Spezzano, Billy Ballistic, Blade, and Bacon.
