WDEE-FM (97.3 FM, "Sunny 97.3") is a radio station licensed to Reed City, Michigan, with studios in Big Rapids.
WDEE originally began as an AM station broadcasting on 1500 kHz, first going on the air in 1981, and under the ownership of David A. Carmine, a well-known country music radio personality from Detroit known by his on-air name of Dave Carr.
WDEE first broadcast with its own independent staff and programming originating from downtown Reed City at 410 W. Upton Avenue.
In January 1994, WDEE was sold to Steven V. Beilfuss known to northwestern Michigan listeners as Steve Masters and best known for his tenure at 100,000 watt stations WLDR-FM in Traverse City and WKJF-FM in Cadillac.
Originally a weak daytime-only AM signal of 250 watts, ownership then successfully applied for an FM license for 97.3 MHz, which made its debut as WDEE-FM as a full simulcast of its AM sister-station.
