The station's callsign was changed from WCBV and WBDY on September 16, 1985; to WHYS on November 22, 1993; and back to WBDY on May 30, 1997.

WBDY went silent on February 1, 2009 for financial reasons, and notified the Federal Communications Commission on March 1, 2009. Triad asked for an extension of authority to remain silent in September 2009, and received authority in December 2009.

Triad surrendered the license for WBDY on February 1, 2010, citing "changes in circumstances", one day before the license would have terminated as a matter of law.
