WFDD (
Wake
Forest
Demon
Deacons) grew out of WAKE, a 5-watt pirate station operated by Wake Forest University students around 1946. By the end of the decade they had become fully licensed but had to change calls to WFDD because WAKE was already taken. In 1971 WFDD became a charter member of National Public Radio and relies on NPR for much of its programming today. They also broadcast Jazz and Classical music along with BBC News.
88.5 FM WFDD is licensed to Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
