About station About WDON Dance
WDON (1540 AM) is a radio station in the United States. Licensed to Wheaton, Maryland, the station serves the Washington metropolitan area with a Catholic format in Spanish, branded as Radio Vida en Abundancia (Life in Abundance Radio).
It is owned by the Renovación Media Group. Founded in 1953, WDON was originally a music station, named after its disc jockey Don Dillard, who was among the first hosts to play rock and roll on Washington radio. WDON later had a country format in the 1960s, followed by oldies and disco in the late 1970s. WDON pivoted away from music, starting with a religious format in 1980. Since 1981, WDON has had various Spanish-language formats, starting with a full-service format of news, talk, and music, followed by Christian programming since 2019. The call sign changed to WMDO from 1981 and WACA in 1997, before returning to its original WDON in 2021.
