WDKE (95.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic country format. Licensed to Seelyville, Indiana, USA, the station serves the Terre Haute area. The station is currently owned by Midwest Communications, Inc.[1]

History

The station went on the air as WAGD on 1993-12-17. On 1994-05-02, the station changed its call sign to WTHC, on 1999-12-01 to WWSY, on 2012-06-12 to WXXR, and on 2014-05-26 to the current WDKE.[2]

In May 2014, the website 959DukeFM.com was registered, and WXXR flipped to '90s based Classic Country as 95.9 Duke-FM shortly after Noon on the 23rd. A Facebook page has been registered for the station, promoting that Duke-FM "Plays The Legends Of Country". On May 26, WXXR changed their call letters to WDKE, to go with the "Duke FM" branding.
