WDEL-FM (101.7 FM) is a radio station licensed to Canton, New Jersey and owned by Delmarva Broadcasting Company. Studios and offices are located at 2727 Shipley Road in Wilmington, Delaware.
The station signed on as religious WNNN on January 15, 1972. By March 1989 the station had adopted the slogan of Win 101.7.
QC Communications purchased the station on July 1, 1997. Over the course of transitioning from religion to Urban AC, it briefly adopted a MOR format before becoming Kiss 101.7 WJKS on October 1, 1997. QC announced the sale to Delmarva Broadcasting in December 2014 with a LMA beginning January 1, 2015. On April 1, 2015 at 10:02PM, Delmarva flipped WJKS to a simulcast of News/Talk WDEL. A call sign change to WDEL-FM took effect the next day.
The sale to Delmarva Broadcasting was consummated on June 30, 2015, at a price of $3.25 million for WDEL-FM and sister station WFAI.
