In 1924, WDBO (which stood for "Way Down By Orlando") aired the first radio broadcasts in Orange County from this tiny shack on campus.
In 2001, Community Communications, owner of WMFE-FM 90.7, attempted to buy WPRK with an offer which greatly interested the college. However, the staff of just 4 students banded together to "save free radio," and over the next 5 years campaigned relentlessly to re-establish WPRK as a functional entity.[citation needed]
From January 17-21, 2005, the station launched its first WPRK Marathon, also known as The 110-Hour Workday, a fundraiser in which DJ Dave Plotkin attempted to break the world record for longest consecutive on-air DJ session.[citation needed]
