The station signed on in 1962 with the call letters WNDU-FM (for University of Notre Dame). In its early years, it simulcasted the programming of its AM counterpart at 1490.[2][3] In 1971, the station switched to the Drake-Chenault "Hit Parade" format.[4][5] The station switched to its current Top 40 (CHR) format in 1979.[6] The station changed its call letters to WNDV-FM when it was sold by the university in 1998 to Artistic Media Partners.[7]
