The station went on the air as WHAG-FM in January 1965. In 1974, the station changed its call sign to WQCM. On September 3, 2002, the station changed its call sign to the current WDLD.

In 1975, WQCM changed their format from country music to album-oriented rock.[2]

On March 28, 1977, WQCM changed their format from album-oriented rock back to Top 40/CHR, branded as "97-Q".[3]

On August 30, 2002, at noon, WQCM moved down the dial from 96.7 to 94.3, and began stunting with a loop of Wild Thing by Tone Loc. 5 hours later, the station flipped to rhythmic contemporary branded as "Wild 96.7".[4][5] The first song on "Wild" was "Hot in Herre" by Nelly.

On November 1, 2018, WDLD rebranded from Wild 96-7 to Live 96-7, segueing from rhythmic contemporary to a mainstream CHR format while retaining as a rhythmic Top 40 station.[6]
