WDLC (1490 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Port Jervis, New York, United States, the station serves the Sussex area.
WDLC began operation on July 4, 1953 owned by Oscar Wein with a popular music format focusing on artists like Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Patti Page, Glenn Miller, Doris Day, Nat "King" Cole, Bing Crosby, among others. As artists like Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Platters, Everly Brothers, and other rock and roll artists became popular, WDLC added softer songs from such artists. The station featured local news and community-oriented programming as well. By the late 1960s the station was mixing softer songs by artists such as the Beatles, Petula Clark, The Mamas & the Papas, Simon & Garfunkle, BJ Thomas, and others.
In 1970, Oscar Wein signed-on 96.7 WDLC-FM initially with a Country Music format. WDLC 1490 continued to play a Middle Of The Road (MOR) music format, by then also playing artists like Elton John, Neil Diamond, Carpenters, Tony Orlando, James Taylor, among others as well as current product. By then, along with Oscar, his wife (air name Kathy Burke) and son, Bob, were heard on the stations.
