History

Until the 1970s this frequency was operated as WVOV, the "Voice of the Valley."cite web |url=http://nelson.oldradio.com/origins.call-list.html |title=Call Letter Origins |work=The Broadcast Archive |last=Nelson |first=Bob |date=2008-02-02] 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.cite web |work=FCC Media Bureau CDBS Public Access Database |url=http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/call_hist.pl?Facility_id=23088&Callsign=WDJL |title=Call Sign History] The station ran 10,000 watts of power until 2006.
