In September 2013, it was reported that the owners of WODI had asked the Federal Communications Commission for permission to cease broadcasting temporarily because of technical problems which had caused the transmitter to shut down repeatedly.[2]

History

The station was launched in 1963 and serves central Virginia.

In March 2009, The Rain Broadcasting, Inc., purchased WODI from D and M Communications.

The Rain Broadcasting, Inc. is owned by Roger W. and Kangja Morgan. Roger is a broadcast radio programming veteran having programmed radio stations throughout the U.S. including KOIL in Omaha, WIFE in Indianapolis, and KISN in Portland for Star Stations. More recently, Roger programmed KYA and K-101 in San Francisco and served as host and producer of "Rock N' Roll Rewind."

Ownership of WODI was subsequently transferred to JKC Media Ventures LLC of Edison, New Jersey.[3]

WODI's studio, tower, and staff were featured in a July 17, 2003 edition of Scott Fybush's "Tower Site of the Week" website.[4]
