On May 24, 1924 WDBO began broadcasting out of a small wooden building near the tennis courts on the campus of Rollins College. It had monk's cloth drapes as acoustic treatment in its only studio. It operated on 1250-kilocycles at 50 watts with a 75-foot antenna for 1 hour and 5 minutes a day.

Today, WDBO broadcasts from ultra-modern studios, along with its five sister stations, on John Young Parkway. Transmitting from Orlando, operating at 580-kilocycles at 5,000 watts of power with a two-tower array reaching 443 feet, WDBO covers Central Florida with award winning news, weather and traffic coverage 24 hours a day!
