WDAE (620 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to St. Petersburg, Florida and serving the Tampa Bay area.

The studios and offices are on Ulmerton Road in Clearwater, Pinellas County[2] The transmitter site is located near the Gandy Bridge in St.

WDAE was the second Florida broadcasting station licensed under the new regulations, following WCAN in Jacksonville, which was authorized seven days earlier,[7] and, after a series of test transmissions, made its formal debut on May 17.

WDAE aired the popular talk show "Desperate & Dateless" on Friday nights with host Rosemary Haddad and producer Sam Cardinale.

In its early years, WSUN was an ABC Radio affiliate, carrying the network's schedule until the 1960s, when it moved to a full service middle of the road music format.

Cox Broadcasting moved the WSUN call letters and its standards format over to its co-owned station on AM 910 in nearby Plant City, Florida (now WTWD).

On New Year's Day 2000, three Tampa Bay radio stations, including WDAE, were involved in a frequency swap.

In addition, Clear Channel put a news/talk format on AM 570, changing the call letters to WTBN, which stood for Tampa Bay News.

Beginning with the 2017 season, the team's broadcasts move to co-owned active rock station 97.9 FM WXTB.

WDAE had also broadcast the Tampa Bay Storm of the Arena Football League (later heard on sister station WHNZ).
