WDLT-FM (104.1 FM) is an American radio station licensed to serve the community of Saraland, Alabama. The station, founded in 1966, broadcasts to the greater Mobile metropolitan area and Pensacola, Florida. The station is owned and operated by Cumulus Media. The WLVM broadcast license is held by Cumulus Licensing LLC. The station had a construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission to change its community of license from Atmore, Alabama to Saraland, Alabama.
WDLT's studios are on Dauphin Avenue in Midtown Mobile, and its transmitter is near Robertsdale, Alabama.
This station began broadcasting an urban adult contemporary and Southern blues music format on July 15, 2012. On July 16, 2012, this station's call sign was changed to WLVM. The shift from the previous contemporary hit radio music format was a result of a multi-station deal that saw the contemporary hit radio format formerly on WABD move to WLVM (now WABD, 97.5 FM), the Christian programming on WLVM move to WDLT-FM (98.3 FM), and the urban AC programming on WDLT-FM move to WABD (now WLVM).
This station began broadcast operations on May 19, 1966, as WATM-FM. On December 7, 1987, the call letters were changed to WIZD-FM, and then changed again on October 7, 1988, to WGCX. Almost exactly six years later, on October 11, 1994, the Federal Communications Commission assigned the station new callsign WDWG. The station was assigned the WYOK call letters by the FCC on January 11, 1999.
