History
The station went on the air as WHAG-FM in January 1965.
In 1975, WQCM changed their format from country music to album-oriented rock.[4]
On March 28, 1977, WQCM changed their format from album-oriented rock to Top 40/CHR, branded as "97-Q".[5]
On August 30, 2002, at noon, WQCM moved down the dial from 96.7 to 94.3, and began stunting with a loop of Wild Thing by Tone Loc. Five hours later, the station flipped to rhythmic contemporary branded as "Wild 96.7".[6][7] The first song on "Wild" was "Hot in Herre" by Nelly.
On November 1, 2018, WDLD rebranded from Wild 96-7 to Live 96-7, segueing from rhythmic contemporary to a mainstream CHR format while retaining as a rhythmic Top 40 station.[8]
