Chattanooga’s oldest station goes dark after 86 years.
WDOD-AM debuted in 1925 to help its owners sell their crystal radio sets,
and to entertain and inform the community. Cy Bahakel acquired WDOD (1310)
in 1963 and now the company is selling the 22 acres of real estate
associated with the 5-kw fulltime station, and turning in the license to the
FCC.
