History
The 97.5 allocation in Delphi was added by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1999.[3] Double O Radio won the construction permit at auction for $399,000 in 2004;[4] it put WTBD-FM on the air in April 2008 with an adult hits format.[5] Double O sold 26 radio stations, including WTBD-FM, to Townsquare Media in 2011.[6] In early 2019, Townsquare closed the station's studios in Walton, which were shared with WDLA, WDLA-FM, WDHI, and WIYN; operations were moved to the company's Oneonta facility.[7]
On December 31, 2023, WTBD-FM ceased operations; at the time of the closure, the station had a contemporary hit radio format.[8] In May 2024, Townsquare Media sold the station, along with WDHI and WIYN (which had shut down at the same time), to the Family Life Network.[9] WTBD-FM returned to the air October 8, 2024,[10] and changed its call sign to WCER on December 6.[11]
