EspañolWDAY (AM)
(Redirected from WDAY-AM)
'WDAY' is North Dakota's first and oldest radio station. It began in 1922 and carries the ABC Radio network, although currently it mainly consists of top-of-the-hour newscasts. Its parent company, Forum Communications, also owns ABC affiliate WDAY-TV 6 and ''The Forum'' newspaper in Fargo. Forum Communications also owns ABC affiliate WDAZ-TV 8 in Grand Forks and several other newspapers and TV stations in North Dakota and Minnesota.
Its main format is news and talk radio that includes a few locally-based talk shows. Its most popular local talk show is "Hot Talk" with conservative host Scott Hennen. Hennen is a frequent fill-in host for nationally syndicated Sean Hannity. WDAY is the longtime radio home for the NDSU ''Bison'' football and basketball games. WDAY is also the radio home of the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks minor league baseball team.
Well known radio talk show host Mike Siegel, who once hosted ''Coast to Coast AM'', temporarily hosted "Noonday" in February 2006 after Jack Sunday and Sandy Buttweiler left the station to return to KFGO. Ed Schultz hosted ''Viewpoint'' and was a play-by-play commentator for North Dakota State University (NDSU) football before being current host of ''News and Views'' on rival KFGO, and host of the national ''The Ed Schultz Show''.
WDAY's power is 5,000 watts, and it uses one transmitter in the daytime and three at night. Its listening area is the second largest in North Dakota, after KFYR-AM in Bismarck, covering the eastern half of North Dakota, northwestern Minnesota, northeastern South Dakota, and extreme southern Manitoba.
Most stations west of the Mississippi begin with K, however WDAY licensed its call letters before the U.S. government changed its call sign conventions in 1923. Prior to 1923, W signified a station was west of the Mississippi river and K signified a station was east of the river. Many stations around the country reversed this convention and the U.S. government changed its policy to conform to what the majority of stations did.
