History
WDLA signed on the air on May 30, 1951.[4] It was owned by the Delaware County Broadcasting Corporation.
WDLA was originally a daytimer powered at 1,000 watts but required to go off the air at night. In the 1980s, the station was authorized by the Federal Communications Commission to broadcast at 5,000 watts in the daytime and run with limited power at night.[5]
The station went silent in mid-2025 for economic reasons. Vince Benedetto’s Bold Gold Media Group has offered to buy WDLA and sister station WDLA-FM.[6] Bold Gold owns 15 stations in Upstate New York.
