License history
Adventure Communications, Inc. was granted the original construction permit for this station on February 19, 1980.[1] The station became licensed on June 17, 1981.[2][3]
The station's callsign was changed from WCBV and WBDY on September 16, 1985; to WHYS on November 22, 1993; and back to WBDY on May 30, 1997.[4]
WBDY went silent on February 1, 2009, for financial reasons, and notified the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on March 1, 2009.[5] Triad asked for an extension of authority to remain silent in September 2009, and received authority in December 2009.[6][7]
Triad surrendered the license for WBDY on February 1, 2010, citing "changes in circumstances",[8] one day before the license would have terminated as a matter of law.[7] The FCC cancelled the station’s license on February 4, 2010.[9]
