History

WDPR signed on in 1985 at 89.5, moving to 88.1 in 1998. Its original city of license was West Carrollton, Ohio. WDPR's old transmitter at 89.5 only operated at 6,000 watts to protect Louisville's WFPL at nearby 89.3. Its current transmitter at 88.1 only operates at 780 watts to protect WNAS in New Albany, Indiana; also at 88.1.

WDPG signed on in February 1994. WDPG went on the air after the demise of the former WGVO (91.9 MHz), which was operated by the Greenville City Schools.
