History

WDSR, along with sister station WNFB, was purchased by Paul Newman in 1998. The owner died in 2015; however, the station remains under ownership by his family via a trust. In 2013, WDSR flipped from an oldies format to country music under the branding 99.5 The Falcon. Concurrently, WDSR's FM translator switched frequencies from 97.1 FM (W246BY) to 95.5 (W238BW). In 2017, operation of WDSR and WNFB moved to Southern Communications (now Southern Stone) under a local marketing agreement. Since then, WDSR flipped to a News Talk Information format in conjunction with Southern Stone-owned WQHL of nearby Live Oak.
