History
The station signed on in 1961 as WPZZ under a gospel music format. In 2000, it became "95.9 the Point," airing mainly conservative talk programming. On July 1, 2003, the station flipped formats to Contemporary Christian Music and became WIJY, "Joy 96," replacing Indianapolis station 98.3 WXIR (which had just become "Radio Disney" WRDZ).
On September 21, 2005, it flipped again, this time to Oldies as WIAU ("Gold 95.9"), using the ABC "Pure Gold" format and the same image campaign as "Gold 104.5" WGLD in Indianapolis, which had just flipped to "Jack FM" WJJK. On Monday, November 12, 2007, the station dropped the Oldies format, and WFDM "Freedom 95.9" began, airing virtually the same weekday lineup that had been heard by Indianapolis station WWFT.[1][2]
