WSDE by day is powered at 1,000 watts. But because AM 1190 is a clear channel frequency, at night it must reduce power to 20 watts to avoid interfering with other stations.

The translator's dial position is included in the moniker "Lite 94.3 FM and 1190 AM."
The station went on the air as WSCM on December 8, 1980. On August 12, 1995, the station changed its call sign to WDCS; the station next changed calls on October 4, 1996, to WLAL; another callsign change occurred on August 28, 1998, when WLAL became WXBH; finally, on July 13, 2004, the station adopted the current WSDE. [2]
The call sign WSDE comes from the initials of its former owner, syndicated radio personality Doug Stephan. The "S" stands for Stephan, the "D" for Doug and the "E" for his middle initial.
