[edit] History
Until the 1970s this frequency was operated as WVOV, the "Voice of the Valley."[3] After several months of silence, in 1981 the station returned as WTAK, "Take-10," with a contemporary hits format. Limited by the daytime-only restrictions, the station went through several formats and owners including Oldies, Urban Fusion, and Rock/Classic Rock.
In the late 1980s the station changed to a rock music format which it later shared with then co-owned WTAK-FM. After a transition period to establish the FM home of the format, the AM station was sold off.
The station changed call letters again in 1994 to WDJL, the current call sign.[1] The station ran 10,000 watts of power until 2006.
