WIAD (94.7 FM, "94.7 The Drive") is a commercial radio station licensed to Bethesda, Maryland, and serving the Washington metropolitan area.

[4][5] WIAD broadcasts using HD Radio technology, using its HD2 digital subchannel to carry "Channel Q", Audacy's talk and CHR/Dance service for the LGBTQ community.

On July 6, 1948, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted Broadcast Management, Inc., a construction permit for a new FM station on 103.1 MHz with WBCG-FM as its call sign.

The permit allowed the station to increase its effective radiated power (ERP) to 20,000 watts while decreasing the height above average terrain (HAAT) to 245 feet.

The station's license was modified by the FCC on November 30, 1960, to reflect a change in the owner's name to Atlantic Broadcasting Company.

The WJMD call sign was formed from the initials of the previous owners, the Diener brothers (Walter, Jack, Mickey, and Dan).

On January 4, 1970, the FCC granted a voluntary reassignment of the station's license to San Juan Racing Association, Inc.

SJR Communications was granted another construction permit on November 18, 1976, to increase the station's ERP to 21,000 watts and its HAAT to 780 feet.

[6] WJMD evolved into a soft adult contemporary music format with a change of call sign to WLTT in March 1982.

WTGB's former DJs, Don "Cerphe" Colwell and Jonathan "Weasel" Gilbert (he left the station in October 2008), have each been involved with Washington radio for nearly 40 years, including stints for both at WHFS.

The format change was likely because of low ratings; the station stayed in the bottom seven for its entire life as a AAA outlet.

CBS aimed to have the new station compete with Clear Channel's adult contemporary WASH-FM, as well as Citadel's hot adult contemporary WRQX (which has since been sold to Cumulus Media and shifted to Top 40, but would shift back to hot AC in November 2015, and became a member station of K-Love in May 2019).

[citation needed] The rivalry with WASH-FM was hinted at in various promotion spots using the tagline "None of that WASHed up old stuff, just Fresh new music".

The original live lineup included Davis in mornings, market veteran Kristie McIntyre in midday and McFly in afternoons.

Darik Kristofer from WSTR in Atlanta was brought in to replace McFly in afternoons and Taylor Shay came on board from WIHT to do nights, and was switched to the weekday midday shift (she has since left the station).

[21][22] On October 2, 2018, Entercom released the station's entire airstaff except for afternoon drive host Darik Kristofer.

[27] On June 10, 2009, the station switched the format on its HD2 subchannel from adult album alternative to progressive rock, branded as "HFS2".
