History

The station went on the air as WEZO on 1988-06-21. On 1990-02-26, the station changed its call sign to WRMM, on 1993-05-14 to WCMF, on 1997-08-01 to WDCZ, on 1999-12-01 to WLGZ. On May 23, 2008, the callsign was changed to WRCI which was previously assigned to WLGZ-FM prior to February 11, 2008 effectively accomplishing a callsign swap between the AM and FM stations. [cite web |url=http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/call_hist.pl?Facility_id=1906&Callsign=WRCI |title=WRCI Call Sign History |work=United States Federal Communications Commission, audio division] On September 1, 2008, the call sign was changed again to WDCX to match with sister station WDCX-FM.

On February 11, 2008, the station's "Legends" format was modified to incorporate more oldies and soft adult contemporary material, and officially moved to sister station WLGZ-FM 102.7 (formerly WRCI "The Light", a Contemporary Christian station). The displaced Christian format is now being broadcast as an additional HD signal on that FM station.

According to NorthEast Radio Watch, the station's format was flipped along with the callsign and began broadcasting the Christian format formerly broadcast by the FM station. [ [http://www.fybush.com/NERW/2008/080602/nerw.html#ny NorthEast Radio Watch, June 2, 2008] ] However, in September 2008, the station changed call letters again, this time to WDCX-AM, and began airing a broader religious talk and music format. Along with the changes came a simulcast of "Neil Boron Live", a Buffalo-based interview and music program, out of its sister station, WDCX-FM. The station also began airing the nationally syndicated "Dave Ramsey Show".
