The call letters were first used on WDBN "The Quiet Island" broadcasting from Medina, Ohio (originally under license to Barberton, Ohio from 1960-1965) to the Cleveland/Akron/Toledo markets with an ERP of 188 kW at 94.9 FM from 1960 to 1988. The station later went on the air in Dublin, Georgia as WIML at 106.3 MHz on August 19, 1985, as a southern gospel format.
