WDLA-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 690 watts. The transmitter is on Radio Station Road off New York State Route 206 in Colchester, New York, on the same tower as sister station WDLA 1270 AM. [3]

History

WDLA-FM signed on the air on November 16, 1973. [4] It was owned by the Delaware County Broadcasting Corporation as the sister station to WDLA 1270 AM. For the first few decades the two stations would simulcast most of their programming since WDLA 1270 was originally a daytimer station, required to go off the air at night. WDLA-FM 92.1 would continue to broadcast their programming after WDLA signed off. Eventually WDLA-FM separated its programming from the AM station, offering a country music format.

WDLA-AM-FM went silent in mid-2025 for economic reasons. Vince Benedetto’s Bold Gold Media Group has offered to buy WDLA-AM-FM. [5] Bold Gold owns 15 stations in Upstate New York.
