History

WDRT started as an Internet audio stream on 30 June 2005 while Driftless Community Radio, Inc. (DCR) was waiting for the US FCC to accept applications for new non-commercial radio stations. radiodriftless.org (now defunct) streamed audio, both live and pre-recorded for four years.

After negotiating a buyout with a competitive license application in Sparta, WI, DCR was granted a construction permit by the FCC on 24 March 2009. Per FCC rules, DCR had three years to complete the construction of the station.

In September 2009 DCR leased a 1400-square foot space on Viroqua's Main Street for its studios, and commenced studio construction.

A year later on 17 September 2010, WDRT began broadcasting on its assigned frequency, 91.9 MHz and has broadcast (more or less) continuously since then.

gollark: Like how in theory on arbitrarily big numbers the fastest way to do multiplication is with some insane thing involving lots of Fourier transforms, but on averagely sized numbers it isn't very helpful.
gollark: It's entirely possible that the P = NP thing could be entirely irrelevant to breaking encryption, actually, as it might not provide a faster/more computationally efficient algorithm for key sizes which are in use.
