Station History
WSND(AM) began as a 10-watt class D station in about 1961. Call letters stand for We Serve Notre Dame. It officialy signed on September 17, 1962. WSND raised power in about 1972 when it moved
transmitter sites to the WNDU-TV/FM tower and raised power to 3400 watts. There was a WSND(AM) which was on 640am as WND, changed calls to WNDU(AM) (and frequency to 1490am), and
eventually signed off 1490am. When 1490am was on the air, it acquired an expanded band frequency radio station, which lives on today.
