WYND (AM)

National religious leaders whose shows are heard on WYND include Charles Stanley, J. Vernon McGee, Adrian Rogers, Joyce Meyer, Chuck Swindoll and David Jeremiah.

The construction permit for this radio station was first issued to Trio Broadcasting Company on June 6, 1956, following its application to the FCC in December 1955.

Transmitter facilities were constructed on East Taylor Road in DeLand, with studios in the Conrad Building, downtown.

In October 1967, the station was granted pre-sunrise authority, which allowed it to operate at 500 watts two hours prior to local sunrise.

The station was assigned the call letters WDLF on December 22, 1980, months after coming under new ownership but the licensee name was retained as Mid-Florida Broadcasting Company briefly before the change in name to West Volusia Communications Corporation.

On April 6, 1984, not long after its sale from West Volusia Communications to John Locke, the station changed its call sign to the current WYND.
