History

The station went on air in 1957 under the call letters WDAT as a country-western station. Its call letters changed to WELE in 1959, and its format changed to a black music format in 1963 before going back to country by 1967. [1] In 1981, the station took on new call letters WZIP and became an oldies station before returning to country in 1986. [1]

In 1988, a group of investors who were graduates of the historically black Morehouse College bought WZIP, and the station call letters changed to WPUL and format changed to urban contemporary. [2]

Most recently, WPUL broadcast progressive talk radio shows including The Thom Hartmann Program and The Stephanie Miller Show as well as various African-American-oriented shows like Keepin' It Real with Al Sharpton and locally produced shows. [3]

The station has been silent since February 17, 2014, as station owners seek a new broadcast tower site. [2]

On September 16, 2022, the station changed its call sign to WDJZ.
