WDLW

WDLW (1380 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Lorain, Ohio, and features an oldies format known as the "Kool Kat". Owned by WDLW Radio, Inc., the station serves Lorain County and western parts of Greater Cleveland, and is relayed over Lorain translator W255CW (98.9 FM). WDLW's studios are located in Oberlin, Ohio, while the transmitters for both WDLW and W255CW reside in Sheffield Township. In addition to a standard analog transmission, WDLW is available online.

Signing on as WLRO in 1969 as the replacement to WWIZ, this station initially featured a full-service/middle of the road format oriented towards Lorain. A sale to real estate developer Jon Veard in 1984 saw the station become WRKG with an adult standards format, which changed again to a country gospel format in 1990 after another sale to Christian radio operators. Tropical music and other Spanish language programming, which had been featured in some capacity on 1380 AM throughout its history, became the station's primary format in 1998 as WDLW via a local marketing agreement with the Cleveland-based Latino Media Group. Sold to WOBL owners Doug and Lorie Wilber in 2002, WDLW adopted an oldies format later in the year.
