WXDB-LP (95.7 FM) was an Americana and Adult Album Alternative music formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Charleston, West Virginia and served Metro Charleston.[4] WXDB-LP was owned and operated by Roots Town Radio, Inc.[5]

History

The station's short history began on February 18, 2014 when Roots Town Radio, Inc. filed the initial paperwork for a Low-Power FM radio station.[6] The station was part of the Federal Communications Commission "LPFM filing window" in October 2013.[7]

On February 21, Roots Town Radio began raising funds to construct the station through crowdfunding website Indiegogo.[8] The company also received a $9,000 grant from the Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation.[9]

The call sign WXDB-LP was issued for the station on February 25, 2014.[3] WXDB-LP was originally to begin broadcasting on August 25,[10] but instead launched on September 6, 2014.[1]

On October 20, 2014, WXDB-LP fell silent as owner Roots Town Radio, Inc. requested the station's construction permit and call sign be cancelled.[2][11] A message on the station's website stated the station was "off the air for good" and thanked the public for their support.[12]

Dysfunction within the station's leadership led to the station's demise.[2] Roots Town Radio President Dawn Warner and Vice President/Station Manager Burr Beard wrestled for control of the station in the weeks leading up to the station falling silent.[2] On-Air volunteers called the station a "toxic environment".[2]

Former volunteer DJs of WXDB-LP have agreed to join another Low-Power FM station once it launches.[2][13]
