The station first took its callsign WRDJ on March 1, 1989 and officially launched two days later on March 3.
On November 26, 1993, the callsign was changed from WRDJ-FM to WAMM-FM. The WRDJ callsign was moved to 104.9 FM, located in Roanoke, Virginia two weeks later on December 15. While WAMM-FM launched a Country format, branded as "WAMM 105.1; Great Country, Less Talk". It became a sister station of WAMM-AM at 1230 AM, which had also carried a Country format at the time.
WAMM-FM was a sister station of WAMM-AM until September 16, 2002, when the callsign was changed to WJDV and the Country format was dropped for Light Adult Contemporary, branded as "Lite Rock 105.1".
On February 7, 2005, WJDV swapped calls and formats with WBHB-FM at 96.1 FM, making the station an Oldies format, branded as "Magic 105.1". The station played music from the 1950s through the 1970s. During its time with the WBHB-FM callsign, the station went through several formats until the callsign was changed to WTGD on December 1, 2008.
On March 22, 2005, WBHB-FM swapped its "Magic 105.1" branding, and thus changing the format/branding to "Classic Hits 105.1",
