WCDI (100.5 MHz) is a radio station licensed to Elizabethville, Pennsylvania, United States, and serving the Harrisburg–Carlisle metropolitan area. The station is part of the Family Life Network and broadcasts from a transmitter in Marysville.
History
[edit]The station's license was granted in 1988,[2] as WLIZ, and officially signed on-air on December 7, 1989 under Great Scott Broadcasting’s ownership.[3][4]
In March 1990, WLIZ was sold to Sunair Communications Inc.[5] The station later changed its call sign to WYGL-FM.
In July 2003, Sunair Communications sold its Pennsylvania radio cluster (including WYGL-FM) to Max Media for $7.5 million.[6] The sale was completed in February 2004.[7]
On August 12, 2015, Max Media announced that it would sell its Pennsylvania radio stations to Seven Mountains Media for $3.8 million.[8] The sale was completed on November 5.[9] In February 2016, it joined Seven Mountains' "Bigfoot Country" format, along with WRBG and WCFT-FM.[10]
In August 2025, Seven Mountains Media announced that they would sell WQBG to Family Life Ministries for $400,000, and had a pending application to move to Carroll Township where it would cover Harrisburg.[11][12] The sale was completed on January 30, 2026.[13]
On February 11, 2026, WQBG changed its call sign to WCDM. It changed again on September 18, 2026, to WCDI when the former WWKL became WCDM.[1]
