WDCX-FM (99.5 MHz) is a commercial radio station licensed to Buffalo, New York.[1] The station airs a brokered religious radio format. WDCX-FM is owned by Kimtron, Inc., a division of Crawford Broadcasting.[2] Its studios are located in the Allentown neighborhood north of downtown Buffalo, and the transmitter site is located off Zimmerman Road in Boston, New York, southeast of Buffalo.

As a brokered time station, nationally known religious leaders pay WDCX-FM for their half hour segments on the station, and appeal to the listeners for contributions. Hosts on WDCX-FM include Dr. Charles Stanley, Jim Daly, Chuck Swindoll and Jay Sekulow. Since 2012, WDCX is simulcast on AM 970 WDCZ in Buffalo. Programming is also heard on AM 990 WDCX in Rochester, New York.

WDCX-FM broadcasts in HD Radio.[3] The station's HD 2 channel carries Christian music.

History

WDCX-FM signed on for the first time on February 18, 1963 and has been owned by the Crawford family for its entire existence.[4] Since its founding, WDCX-FM has broadcast religious programming, with Donald B. Crawford as WDCX-FM's original president. Crawford's initials are represented by the DC in the station's call letters, with the X representing the Christian cross.

Superpower Status

WDCX-FM is a grandfathered "Superpower" Class B FM radio station, operating at 110,000 watts.[5] Buffalo has three other superpower FM stations: 92.9 WBUF, 94.9 WNED-FM and 102.5 WTSS. (WTSS also broadcasts at 110,000 watts but has a taller antenna, so it has a larger coverage area.) Under current Federal Communications Commission rules, Class B FM's are not allowed to exceed 50,000 watts ERP. WDCX-FM's signal not only covers much of Western New York but extends into Canada. The station has listeners in Toronto, Hamilton and around the Niagara Peninsula of Ontario.
