WDOK (102.1 FM) – branded as Star 102 – is a commercial adult contemporary radio station licensed to Cleveland, Ohio. Owned by CBS Radio, the station serves Greater Cleveland and much of surrounding Northeast Ohio. The WDOK studios are located at the Halle Building in Downtown Cleveland, while the station transmitter resides in the Cleveland suburb of Parma. Besides a standard analog transmission, WDOK broadcasts over two HD Radio channels, and is available online.
The station began as WDOK-FM on October 4, 1954 by simulcasting its sister station, WDOK. Eventually, WDOK-FM originated its own programming and featured a beautiful music format. On December 12, 1965, WDOK (AM) changed its callsign to WIXY and adopted a Top 40 format; WDOK-FM itself changed its callsign to WDOK. The station was branded Stereo Cleveland, with the slogan "Beautiful Music for the Land of the Western Reserve." Station personalities included Wayne Mack, the founder of WDOK (AM); Tom Armstrong, previously the morning host at WGAR (AM) in the 1940s and 50s; and David Mark, who also worked for Cleveland market "beautiful music" stations WQAL, WKSW, WJW (AM), and WDBN. During this period, the station was programmed by Peter Irmiter and Neil Hershberger.
By the 1980s, WDOK had come under common ownership with WWWE; both stations were sold on November 30, 1987 by Lake Erie Radio Company, owned by Art Modell and Al Lerner, to the Independent Group Limited partnership, owned by Tom Embrescia, Larry Pollock, and Tom Wilson.
