WAFL (97.7 MHz) is an FM radio station broadcasting a Top 40 format. Licensed to Milford, Delaware, United States, the station serves the Dover, Delaware area. The station is currently owned by Forever Media.[2] The station is also broadcast on HD radio.[3]
History
[edit]The station first went on the air as WAFL-FM on May 19, 1973, under the ownership of Thomas H. Draper, who would go on to purchase WBOC-TV.
The station originally broadcast a country format with the tagline of "The Country King". After that, the station changed its format to an adult contemporary format and became WAFL - Great Hits.
In September 1994, WAFL shifted to the then-groundbreaking hot adult contemporary format as Eagle 97.7. As of November 2022, Eagle 97.7 has shifted to a Top 40 format, focusing on current and recent hits.
