WMFD was Wilmington's first radio station. The call letters have not changed since 1941.
In May 1996, Community Broadcasting sold WMFD, WUOY, and WBMS radio stations to a new company called Ocean Broadcasting. At this time, WMFD added Dr. Laura Schlessinger and The Fabulous Sports Babe, as well as CNN News part of the time.
In 1999, WMFD was airing Don Imus.
In 2000, WMFD changed to sports radio and added the minor-league baseball team Wilmington Waves.
In July 2004, NextMedia Group purchased WRQR, WAZO, and WMFD from Ocean Broadcasting, and WKXB and WSFM from Sea-Comm Inc.
In July 2008, Capitol Broadcasting announced its purchase of NextMedia's Wilmington stations.
In addition to the main station, WMFD is relayed by a translator to widen its broadcast area. This station rebroadcast WLTT prior to 2014.
