Radio station in Colonial Heights, Virginia
WDZY (1290 AM ) is a Conservative Religious formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Colonial Heights, Virginia , serving the Petersburg /Richmond area.[1] WDZY is owned and operated by Wilkins Radio Network, Inc.[8]
History [ edit ]
The station went on the air as WCLA in 1955, later to become WPVA.[9] On November 13, 1989, the station changed its call sign to WSTK.[6] On March 19, 1997, it changed to WZOD. On February 19, 1998, it changed to the current WDZY.[6]
Sale and falling silent [ edit ]
In June 2013, Disney put WDZY and six other Radio Disney stations in medium markets up for sale, in order to refocus the network's broadcast distribution on top-25 markets.[10] [11]
On September 29, 2013, WDZY dropped the Radio Disney affiliation and went silent .[11] In November, Disney filed to sell WDZY to the Richmond Christian Radio Corporation,[12] a subsidiary of Wilkins Radio Network, Inc.[12]
The sale was "consummated" on December 31, 2013[13] and "accepted" by the FCC on January 10, 2014. WDZY resumed operations on January 17, 2014.[14]
Translator [ edit ]
In addition to the main station, WDZY is relayed by an FM translator to widen its broadcast area.[15]
