WBDK

WBDK (96.7 FM) is a radio station broadcasting an Adult Standards format. Licensed to Algoma, Wisconsin, USA, the station serves the Green Bay area. The station is currently owned by Nicolet Broadcasting, Inc..^[1]

History

The station went on the air as WOMA on 1986-11-05 on the 96.5 MHz frequency by D & M Broadcasting. The station struggled for years and was sold in 1989 to Wheeler Broadcasting in Shawano, WI, who slowly introduced country music format by mixing it with its then-oldies format and progressed to make it all-country. Due to the large distance of other Wheeler Broadcasting holdings in relation to WOMA, Wheeler unloaded it to Nicolet Broadcasting in 1992 for $150,000.

A number of changes happened shortly after the change of ownership:

• Moved their offices to Luxemburg to be closer to Green Bay, WI;

• Changed the format to a "soft oldies" (Big Bands/Adult Standards of the 1940's through the 60's);

• Frequency was later changed to 96.7 MHz in order to increase their broadcast range;

• Changed its call sign to the current WBDK.^[2]
