History
98.3 FM signed on the air in July 1984 as WDVR and featured an AOR and CHR a.k.a. Rock 40 format.Klein, Michael. [https://www.newspapers.com/article/courier-post-new-radio-station-wdvr-983/137561668/ "WDVR joins Shore radio scene"], Courier-Post, July 4, 1984. Accessed December 28, 2023. "This week, three South Jerseyans started an FM station in Ocean City playing a mix of adult contemporary and Top 40 music. The FCC offered the call letters WDVR at 98 3 on the FM dial. 'That sounded good,' says Chuck Kramer of Atlantic City, who doubles as WDVR's morning disc jockey and general manager. The station is a 3.000-watt flea serving Atlantic and Cumberland counties, a crowded radio market with a dozen or so FM stations." In 1987 the station took WKTU as its call letters after New York City's 92.3 FM switched from WKTU to WXRK.
On February 13, 1996, call letters were changed to WTKU so that the call letters WKTU would be returned to New York City on 103.5 FM.
