WBDK FM 96.7 is a radio station broadcasting a 60's-80's oldies format. Licensed to Algoma, Wisconsin, USA, the station serves the Green Bay area. The station is currently owned by Nicolet Broadcasting, Inc.[1]
History
The station went on the air as WOMA on 1986-11-05 on the 96.5 MHz frequency by D & M Broadcasting. The station struggled for years and was sold in 1989 to Wheeler Broadcasting in Shawano, WI, who slowly introduced country music format by mixing it with its then-oldies format and progressed to make it all-country. Due to the large distance of other Wheeler Broadcasting holdings in relation to WOMA, Wheeler unloaded it to Nicolet Broadcasting in 1992 for $150,000.[2]
A number of changes happened shortly after the change of ownership:
- Moved their offices to Luxemburg to be closer to Green Bay, WI;
- Changed the format to a "soft oldies" (Big Bands/Adult Standards of the 1940s through the 60's);
- Frequency was later changed to 96.7 MHz in order to increase their broadcast range;
- Changed its call sign to the current WBDK.[3]
