The station was assigned the WJDF call letters by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on June 30, 1995.[1] It signed on in August 1995 with an adult contemporary format.[4] In January 2014, WJDF reformatted to full-service classic hits.

On November 30, 2018, the FCC warned WJDF of a potential for the revocation of their license if their debt was not paid within 60 days; at the time, the station owed $9,642 in regulatory fees dating to 2014.[5][6][7] The station did not respond to the warning, and on April 4, 2019, WJDF's license was revoked by the FCC.[8][9][10][11] At the time of the revocation, WJDF had been operated by Steve Wendell under a local marketing agreement, with plans for Wendell to acquire the station outright. Wendell subsequently announced his intention to file a $1.8 million lawsuit against Deane Brothers Broadcasting, as he had not been informed of the station's unpaid regulatory fees (which prevented renewal of the WJDF license and the proposed license transfer); in addition, the station had been silent from August to December 2018 after WJDF's transmitter was destroyed by two lightning strikes.[12]
