By Alexis Robertson
The next media to come to campus was the radio station, which opened in autumn of 1950. Itscall letters started as WACC. In 1970, a new Center for the Arts building was completed, and the radio began to shift into what it is today. A new FM transmitter was purchased, and new director, Richard D. Leidy, was hired.Leidy formed new call letters from his name in which WRDL still is named today. In the 1980s, WRDL was moved from 88.1 on the dial to 88.9 to avoid interference from other local stations. In 1993, the station got the nickname “The Eagle” because it was quicker to say than WRDL, and was more relatable to the university since the school mascot is an Eagle.
