WHDZ (101.5 FM) is a community radio station broadcasting a variety format. Licensed to Buxton, North Carolina, USA, the station is currently owned by Radio Hatteras, Inc.[1]
History
The Federal Communications Commission issued a construction permit for the station on April 1, 2005.[2] The station was assigned the WHDZ call sign on April 13, 2005,[3] and received its license to cover on May 5, 2008.[4] The station was used for emergency news and weather information, rebroadcasting NOAA Weather Radio station KIG-99.
In late 2013, the licenses of WHDZ and sister station WHDX were transferred to non-profit organization Radio Hatteras, Inc.[5] WHDZ changed formats in early 2014, and now broadcasts a variety format, relying on volunteer announcers and disc jockeys to produce Hatteras Island related programming.[6]
