History of WOCL
WOCL
began as WOOO;
Mr. Brian Tolby, past owner of WSBB-AM 1230, New Smyrna Beach, fills us in on the history of WDLF. "...That station was to be a Winter Park FM, WABR(-AM 1440), 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..."
