History
WDSR, along with sister station WNFB, was purchased by Paul Newman in 1998.[2] The owner died in 2015; however, the station remains under ownership by his family via a trust.
In 2013, WDSR flipped from an oldies format to country music under the branding 99.5 The Falcon. Concurrently, WDSR's FM translator switched frequencies from 97.1 FM (W246BY) to 95.5 (W238BW) .[3]
In 2017, operation of WDSR and WNFB moved to Southern Communications (now Southern Stone) under a local marketing agreement.[4] Since then, WDSR flipped to a News Talk Information format in conjunction with Southern Stone-owned WQHL of nearby Live Oak.[5]
