WDTW-FM (106.7 FM, "106-7 The D") is a radio station licensed to Detroit, Michigan; broadcasting a classic rock format. The station is owned by IHeartMedia, Inc.. In addition to a standard analog transmission, WDTW-FM broadcasts over HD Radio and is available online via iHeartRadio; the HD2 digital subchannel airs alternative rock via the Premium Choice network as "The Alternative Project." WDTW-FM studios are located in the Detroit suburb of Farmington Hills, while the station transmitter resides atop Cadillac Tower in Downtown Detroit.
The station began operations on October 16, 1960, as WDTM, airing classical and jazz music, like many other FMs of the time. Gordon McLendon purchased the station in 1966, changed the call letters to WWWW ("W4"), and installed a beautiful music format. The station was at that time located at 2930 E. Jefferson Avenue in Detroit, in a building now housing the marijuana law firm Cannabis Counsel, P.L.C.
By 1970, McLendon changed W4's format from easy listening to "Solid Gold" (oldies-oriented Top 40) as "W4 Stereo," with an airstaff that included Don Schuster and Detroit radio legend Tom Clay. During its oldies period, W4 was one of the first stations to pick up Detroit radio veteran Casey Kasem's newly syndicated countdown show, American Top 40.
