WYDB
WYDB (94.5 FM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting an oldies radio format. Licensed to Englewood, Ohio, the station serves the Dayton metropolitan area. It is owned and operated by the Delmarva Educational Association, with studios and offices on North High Street in Columbus, Ohio.
WYDB has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 3,600 watts, using a directional antenna. The transmitter is on Trinity Church Road near Shiloh Springs Road in Dayton.
Most of WYDB's previous talk programming came from Salem Radio Network syndicated shows, including Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Prager, Sebastian Gorka, Mike Gallagher, Charlie Kirk, Eric Metaxas, Brandon Tatum and Bruce Hooley. It also carried Mark Levin, Lars Larson and "This Morning, America's First News with Gordon Deal."
Weekends featured shows on money, health, guns, real estate and the outdoors, as well as repeats of some weekday shows. Most hours begin with an update from Fox News Radio.
The original station at 94.5 MHz was given the call sign WKET in 1962. It played classical music from a basement studio at the former Hills and Dales Shopping Center. The station failed to attract a sizable listening audience (AM was the dominant band at that time).
It was sold to the University of Dayton in 1964, which changed the call letters to WVUD (for the "Voice of the University of Dayton"). The WKET call letters are now used at 98.3 FM in Kettering.
In the 1970s, WVUD became Dayton's first album oriented rock station, providing an alternative to Top 40-formatted WING. The station was approved for a 50,000-watt transmitter and a 500-foot tower on Stuart Hill, the highest point on the university's campus. That allowed the station's signal to reach well into eastern Indiana and northern Kentucky, gaining a wide listening audience in the tri-state area. While the station's management, programmers and sales staff were all seasoned radio professionals, the air staff consisted solely of University of Dayton students.
From the late 1960s through the mid-1970s, WVUD's General Manager was University of Dayton Communication Arts Department Chairman George Biersack. Biersack hired former WVUD staffer and UD grad Chris Cage (Caggiano) from WING as the station's Program Director and Biersack's marching orders for Cage were to "grab the 18- to 34-year-olds" but to "avoid that WING sound". Cage's Music Director was Kevin Carroll, who went on to work for several major record labels. Cage was succeeded by Geoff Vargo, and Carroll was replaced by Dan Covey, who later landed at WING.
