WDAQ has four digital subchannels, three of them feeding FM translators with formats including classic hits (94.5), country music (97.9/107.3) and public radio (103.7).

Originally, WLAD-FM was part of the Rural Radio Network as one of two Connecticut affiliates of the New York-based chain.

In the mid-1960s, the Federal Communications Commission began encouraging AM-FM combos to end full time simulcasting.

WLAD-FM played quarter hour sweeps of mostly instrumental cover versions of popular songs as well as Broadway and Hollywood show tunes.

WDAQ was competing with 99.9 WEZN from Bridgeport, Connecticut, and 100.7 WHUD from Peekskill, New York, for Greater Danbury's easy listening audience.

Within a year, WDAQ shot to #1 beating co-owned full-service 800 WLAD and crosstown rocker 95.1 WRKI.

On August 7, 2015, WDAQ upgraded to HD Radio, and launched a new Alternative station on 103.7 MHz, fed by its HD2 subchannel, as "103.7 Danbury's New Rock Alternative", which launched on the 10th at Noon after stunting with loops of songs that changed each hour, with songs like "Rapper's Delight" by The Sugarhill Gang and "Drunk on a Plane" by Dierks Bentley.
