History

WKDX was originally constructed and owned by Risden Allen Lyon of Wadesboro, North Carolina. The station was constructed in 1956.

Lyon sold the station to Peace Valley Baptist Church effective July 31, 1991.[3] In 1992 the Lyon family sued Peace Valley Baptist Church and several individuals involved with the transaction for non-payment, and regained ownership.

In 2000 the Lyon family sold WKDX to the McLaurin Group.

gollark: Eh, I still need phone calls/SMS and to be honest the screens on tablets are a bit big.
gollark: Or also emulate Android apps on it, but oh potatOS the resource waste.
gollark: Or, well, use it on my laptop.
gollark: I can just not use Discord. Problem solved!
gollark: Anyway, the battery life will be *great* if I can cut down basically every pointless background service and have a GNU/Linux-running phone which basically just runs a browser and basic phone-network functionality.
