01History
This station, originally known as WDVL, officially signed on the air on August 19, 1959. Initially licensed as a daytimer, the station provided a mix of news, music, and other community-focused programming. Its owners, Mortimer and Vivian Henderickson, were very hands-on in the station's development, with Vivian hosting her own children's segment. The couple sold the station in 1972.
WDVL changed its call letters to WFHM on August 15, 1986, after WMIZ and its sister station, WVLT, were sold from their then-owners, Vita Marie and Frank Ventresca, to their current owners, Clear Communications, Inc. The station briefly operated with a talk format. The current WMIZ call letters were granted on December 21, 1990, and the station transitioned to full-time Spanish programming.
