WDCX-FM (99.5 MHz) is a commercial radio station licensed to Buffalo, New York.[2] The station airs a brokered religious radio format. WDCX-FM is owned by Kimtron, Inc., a division of Crawford Broadcasting.[3] Its studios are located in the Allentown neighborhood north of downtown Buffalo, and the transmitter site is located off Zimmerman Road in Boston, New York, southeast of Buffalo.

As a brokered time station, nationally known religious leaders pay WDCX-FM for their half hour segments on the station, and appeal to the listeners for contributions.
