Owned by Rubber City Radio Group, Inc., the station primarily serves the Akron metro area, but also can be heard in Greater Cleveland and Canton.

Ted Niarhos sold WDBN to Robert Miller and associated investors in 1968 for $1 million, the highest price ever paid for an FM station at a time.

The station was sold to Gordon-Thomas Communications, Inc.—headed by Gordon Steinbeck and Thom Mandel—for $4.6 million in March 1988, the deal closed that June 2nd.

Gordon-Thomas Communications changed its name to Rubber City Radio Group on December 6, 1993, the same day that it purchased WAKR and WONE-FM.

Weekday personalities include Scott Wynn and Sarah Kay mornings, Cherise on middays, Ben McKee on afternoon drive, Eric Matthews on evenings and Joe Headley on overnights.
