WDRE (100.5 MHz, "Solid Gold 100.5 & 104.5") is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, and serving the Binghamton metropolitan area. It airs an oldies radio format. WDRE is owned by the Equinox Broadcasting Corporation.[2][3] In the fall, WDRE carries Buffalo Bills football. Its studios are on Main Street in Johnson City.

WDRE is a Class A station. It has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 1,600 watts.
