The station’s construction permit was issued on October 7, 1992 under the calls of W52BR. It changed to W25DW on July 7, 2008, to W25DW-D on March 8, 2011, and to W31EZ-D on October 27, 2020. [3]

The station was silent due to construction of the shared channel 31 facility, administered by WESV-LD; the two stations are sharing to resolve a mutual exclusivity in their applications.
