WDRM (102.1 FM) is an American radio station licensed to serve the community of Decatur, Alabama, and owned by San Antonio-based iHeartMedia. It serves the Huntsville, Alabama, area with a country music format.[4] Its studios are located in Madison, Alabama and its transmitter is located north of Huntsville.
WDRM has been consistently ranked by Arbitron as the most-listened to radio station in the Huntsville market for two decades.[5][6][7][8] The weekday morning show, currently hosted by Brent "Dingo" Crank and Blair Maples, was top-rated in the Huntsville market for two decades until falling to #2 in the Summer 2008 ratings.[8][9]
Except for a short period from 1982 to 1986 when it was officially "WDRM-FM" to accommodate a co-owned AM station being branded as "WDRM", this station has been assigned the WDRM call letters by the Federal Communications Commission[1] since March 18, 1966.[10]
WDRM simulcasts the audio of Huntsville-based television station WHNT when severe weather threatens its listening area.
