The network was eventually consolidated to one carrier current station, WLFT ("Tune to the Left"), which broadcast from the former WKAR studios on the third floor of the MSU Auditorium Building.

The station is licensed to the MSU Board of Trustees, is financed by a student fee, and operates separately from the university's other media outlets, which include WKAR, WKAR-FM, WKAR-TV, and the State News.

On Tuesday, February 24, 2009, the Impact turned 20 and celebrated 20 years of broadcasting by holding a birthday bash at the local East Lansing Buffalo Wild Wings, where alumni came back to do a special hour of on-air programming.

At night, block programming features specialty shows such as alternative country, metal, indie, local music, and hip hop.

The Lansing City Pulse credited WDBM's Progressive Torch and Twang program for igniting and sustaining the alternative country scene in mid-Michigan.
