History

WLDN received an original construction permit on October 18, 2011. At the time, the license was held by Lopester Broadcasting. Late in 2011, the CP was sold to Synergy Media, and the sale was consummated on January 25, 2012. In September 2012, WLDN started testing with a simulcast of sister station WMLQ, which already had (and still has) a translator in Ludington at 104.9 FM. WLDN started its current format in October, with its license being issued on October 17, 2012.

It is the Ludington-Manistee affiliate for Michigan State University sports and the Detroit Tigers Radio Network.
