History
From 1965[3] to the early 1980s, the station (then WLMD[4]) broadcast a succession of formats in English; several radio personalities began their careers with the station.[5][6][7][8][9]
Before 1969, WLMD was a MOR (Middle Of The Road) formatted radio station and held to the model created by WMAL and WBAL in Washington and Baltimore, respectively. Unfortunately, its lack of power, poor coverage area and day-time only FCC license severely limited its success.
