History
WDAI signed on October 1, 1993, with an
hip-hop music
station also owned by Cumulus Media.
In January 2010, Cumulus Media hired a market veteran, Craig Russ, as its new Operations Manager. Personalities on the station included Monique, Michael Baisden, and Doug Davis.[citation needed]
In July 2010, WDAI changed from urban adult contemporary to
mainstream urban, replacing a similar format Cumulus had aired on WSEA for a year before switching that station to CHR. WDAI also took the syndicated morning show from WSEA; Rickey Smiley, replacing Tom Joyner.[7]
On January 9, 2020, it was announced that WDAI had added Premiere Networks' The Breakfast Club to mornings.[8]
