WDZY
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WDZY is a Radio Disney station serving the Richmond, Virginia market. WDZY broadcasts on 1290 kHz.During the 50s , 60s , 70s ,& early 80s it was known as WPVA-AM and from 1972 thru 1982 it simulcasted with a sister FM , WPVA-FM (now separately owned WKHK ) . It did a Top 40 format in the 50s, but later became a country station in the 1960s. In the 80s it went thru several owners and formats , including talk , Gold based Adult Contemporary , Classic Soul ( all as WPVA ), Big Band (as WSTK ) Oldies (as WZOU ) and finally affiliating with Radio Disney in the late 90s as WDZY. Disney later purchased the station. The station's original offices and studios were in Petersburg , but have since been moved to Richmond.
AM 1290 transmits from a single tower at the northeast corner of Temple Ave and Conduit Rd in Colonial Heights, Virginia, approximately 2.5 miles from its former studio. While the studio facilities were based in Petersburg, a microwave link carried programming from the studio to the transmitter site. Now that the studios have been moved to Richmond, 25 miles away, it is unclear how the transmitter is fed today.
