WCDD (107.9 MHz FM, CD Country 107.9) is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. It is licensed to Canton, Illinois and serves the Peoria radio market. The station is currently owned by Prairie Radio Communications. ^[1]^[2]

WCDD was known as WBYS-FM for many years on 98.1 FM with an easy listening format. In late 1997 the station was upgraded to 25,000 watts and moved to 107.9 FM. This allowed the station to target the Peoria market, and in late 2004 switched to a Classic Hits format as "CD 107.9".

WCDD is one of only 5 radio stations in the Peoria radio market with a Class B signal. In July, 2008, a tornado took down the original tower constructed in 1947 for sister station WBYS, and a new tower was constructed and registered in March, 2009.^[3]

On December 27, 2010 WCDD changed the format to country, branded as "CD Country 107.9".

Sports Coverage

Since 2012, WCDD has served as the broadcast home of the Peoria Rivermen, during the team's years in both the AHL and SPHL.
