In 1982 after the death of owner Charles Bell, Good Radio Broadcasting Corporation purchased the AM Station from the estate of Mr. Bell. Carl and Lisa Gooding owners of Good Radio applied for an FM broadcasting license in later 1982. Early in 1983 WDOG built its current studios located 1.6 miles northwest of Allendale South Carolina on the Augusta Highway. The AM and new WYXZ FM went on the air late in 1983. The FM station, WYXZ originally went on the air with 3000 watts of power. Not long after WYXZ went on the air, the folks at Good Radio realized that no matter what you called the FM, it would always be “The Big Dog”. So later in the 1980s WYXZ FM changed its call letters to WDOG FM. In the early 1990s, WDOG FM increased its power to the current 6000 watts. Today the big dog is alive and well on 1460am, 93.5fm and our programming can be picked up on the app mixlr.
