The application was granted on May 23, 1983 to Cadiz Broadcasting, Inc., a company headed by Randall M. O'Grady. However, the station would not sign on the air under this company's ownership, largely due to its inability to acquire a suitable tower site from which to broadcast. The station went on the air as WFNN on 1990-08-17. On 1990-10-08, the station changed its call sign to WWYS. On 1993-09-01 to the current WCDK,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/call_hist.pl?Facility_id=40874&Callsign=WCDK |title=WCDK Call Sign History |work=United States [[Federal Communications Commission]], audio division }}</ref> On August 2, 2017, Priority Communications of Ohio filed an application with the FCC to sell WEIR and WCDK to Ohio Midland Newsgroup, LLC of [[Bellaire, Ohio]].
