Core artists include the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Mötley Crüe, Queen, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Nirvana, The Doors, Foreigner, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne and Rush.

WDHA has always scored good ratings in North Jersey, even when New York City had as many as three full-time rock stations.

[4] It ran with 3,000 watts of effective radiated power from atop Shongum Mountain, one of the highest peaks in Northern New Jersey.

D. Ridgely Bolgiano, general manager, announced that construction of the new site would begin "next week with the station scheduled to go on the air by mid-February."

Peter L. Arnow of Convent Station was president of the firm, and Walter C. Blaser of Wharton was named director of music.

The WDHA call sign stands for "Drexel Hill Associates," the original owner of the station.

WDHA later played adult pop hits during the day but still had classical music as well as jazz block programming at night.

Soon, WDHA dropped its classical format altogether and went with strictly contemporary pop, later adding rock.

In 1984, WDHA was the world's first radio station to play compact discs, a new invention that would replace vinyl records.

In 1990, WDHA moved out of its Randolph facilities and into new Cedar Knolls studios, along with sister station 1250 WMTR.
