WDAR-FM (105.5 FM), known as "Sunny 105.5", is a contemporary Christian formatted radio station licensed to Darlington, South Carolina.
Prior to 1990, this station was adult contemporary/oldies. Then it was a classic rock station. It was also a country music radio station known as "Gator 105.5". For many years WDAR-FM played adult contemporary music as Sunny 105.5.
In a deal announced in February 1997, Root Communications Ltd. announced plans to buy eight radio stations owned by Florence-based Atlantic Broadcasting, including WDAR-FM. Qantum Communications Inc. purchased Florence's Root Communications Group LP stations in 2003.
The change to Contemporary Christian took place in September 2013.
On May 15, 2014, Qantum Communications announced that it would sell its 29 stations, including WDAR-FM, to Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia) for WALK AM-FM in Patchogue, New York as part of the sale of the WALK stations to Connoisseur Media. The transaction was consummated on September 9, 2014.
