WDLS (900 AM) is an adult contemporary radio station in the resort community of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin simulcasting sister station WBOO 102.9 FM Reedsburg. WDLS is also relayed on an FM translator broadcasting on 98.5. In February 2024 WDLS and it's FM translator left the air due to a transmitter failure, the stations owner Mangum Communications also at that time took down the stations website and any mention of it on their companies website leaving the future of the station uncertain.[2]

As of April 2024 WDLS returned to the air with a simulcast of WBOO identifying on air jointly as "B102.9 & 98.5".
