History

In 1993, WDSC had a sports talk format when it went off the air.[2]

As of 1997, WDSC was owned by Root Communications, Ltd.[3] Qantum Communications Inc. purchased Florence's Root Communications Group LP stations in 2003.[4]

The station was simulcast on WWRK.[5]

On May 15, 2014, Qantum Communications announced that it would sell its 29 stations, including WDSC, to Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia) for WALK AM-FM in Patchogue, New York as part of the sale of the WALK stations to Connoisseur Media.[6] The transaction was consummated on September 9, 2014.
