History

The Federal Communications Commission issued the station's initial construction permit for W21DI-D on May 17, 2011. The current WQDI-LD call sign was adopted on December 4, 2015. The station signed on the air on May 31, 2016 as an Estrella TV affiliate on its main channel only one or two months after sister station WEKA-LD signed on. At an unknown date, the station switched to Azteca America, a Spanish-language network similar to Estrella TV. [1]

In April 2017, Cheddar started broadcasting over the air with DTV America affiliating five stations including WQDI with the network. Dunkin' Donuts, a Cheddar advertiser, was handing out free digital antennas at events in the stations' markets to publicize the over the air launch. [2]

On December 31, 2022, Azteca America ceased operations. WQDI replaced Azteca America programming with Timeless TV, an English-language network airing classic TV shows.
