History of WDLF
Mr. Brian Tolby, past owner of WSBB-AM 1230,
New Smyrna Beach, fills us in on the history of WDLF-FM.
"...That station was to be a Winter Park FM, WABR, owned by the
Petersons who also owned Peterson Outdoor Advertising in Orange &
Seminole counties, who were sitting on an FM permit. I filed to move it to
Deland and it went on the air in l965. I sold that station in l976 to Joe
Gratz who owned (WELE-AM 1380) and he
changed the calls to WELE-FM..."
