WDTR is a non-commercial, contemporary Christian FM radio station licensed to broadcast on 88.1 FM in Monroe, Michigan and downriver Detroit. It is owned by Northland Community Broadcasters (aka Michigan Community Radio and Superior Communications), which is owned by Jennifer and Edward Czelada. The station broadcasts with a power of 1.2 kW, but has a license and plan for a 2007 upgrade to 2.8 kW.

WDTR began broadcasting in December 2002 as WJOF and carried Joy FM programming from WHYT Imlay City, Michigan. In June of 2004 it merged with the other The Light and Joy FM stations, which were owned by Superior Communications. The merger formed Smile FM. The call letters were then changed to WDTR, which had previously been used for a number of years by 90.9 Detroit (currently WRCJ). Programming with local inserts originates from WLGH in Lansing.
