History

This station, originally known as WDVL, officially signed on the air on August 19, 1959. Initially licensed as a daytimer, the station provided a mix of news, music, and other community-focused programming. Its owners, Mortimer and Vivian Henderickson, were very hands-on in the station's development, with Vivian hosting her own children's segment. [3] The couple sold the station in 1972.

WDVL changed its call letters to WFHM on August 15, 1986, after WMIZ and its sister station, WVLT, were sold from their then-owners, Vita Marie and Frank Ventresca, to their current owners, Clear Communications, Inc. The station briefly operated with a talk format. The current WMIZ call letters were granted on December 21, 1990, and the station transitioned to full-time Spanish programming. [4]
