History

The A.C. Neff Company made an application to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), to build a new station in Savannah, in the waning days of World War II. Neff was granted a construction permit for a station to operate at 1400 on the AM dial, with 250 watts full-time. The station, assigned the call letters WDAR, took to the air in mid-1946. Their studios were located at 34 E. Bryan Street, a second floor suite of offices, located over the Georgia State Bank building. WDAR/WSGA had no network affiliation until early 1961, when it picked up the ABC affiliation previously held by WFRP/WSOK.
