The station later went on the air in Dublin, Georgia as WIML at 106.3 MHz on August 19, 1985, as a southern gospel format. On October 20, 1991, the station changed its call sign to the current WDBN and moved to 107.5.[3] On December 8, 2008, the station changed frequencies to 107.9 and increased its power to 25 kW.
