===WWCD (1990–2010)=== {{For|the successors of the first incarnation of WWCD|WKVR (FM)|WXGT}} [[File:CD101_logo.png|left|thumb|CD101 logo]] WWCD began broadcasting on August 21, 1990. The first song played on the station was "Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, (Petrol)" by the [[Dublin, Ireland]] band [[Something Happens (band)|Something Happens]]. The station was long owned by Fun With Radio, LLC., whose founder, Roger Vaughn, purchased the station from Video Services in 1992. WWCD and its successor station, WWCD (102.5 FM), has always been either owned or operated by interests in metro Columbus, and is one of the few remaining [[independent radio]] stations in the U.S. playing alternative rock. WWCD also lays claim to being one of the first stations in the [[United States]] to be [[simulcast]] and on [[Internet radio]]. In a March 2006 [[Radio & Records]] list of the top 20 alternative rock radio stations in the [[United States]], WWCD was ranked #4 in the country and #1 east of the Mississippi River. WWCD's longtime program director throughout the late 1990s and 2000s was afternoon DJ Andy "Andyman" Davis. With the station almost since its inception, Davis previously served as the station's music director. Davis died of a suspected heart attack while on vacation in Michigan with his family on July 18, 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dispatch/obituary.aspx?n=john-andrew-davis-andyman&pid=144192101&fhid=8700|title=John Andrew "Andyman" Davis Obituary|work=Dispatch.com (hosted by Legacy.com)}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://theotherpaper.com/articles/2010/07/20/front/doc4c43c54390302392512809.txt|title=CD101 reports death of Andy "Andyman" Davis|author=KM|date=July 18, 2010|newspaper=[[The Other Paper]]|access-date=December 17, 2010|publisher=American Community Newspapers}}</ref><ref name="Andyman-a-Thon">{{cite news|url=http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2010/07/20/andyman-remembered-for-support-of-music-charity-update.html|title='Andyman' remembered for support of music, charity|author1=Feran, Tim|date=July 20, 2010|newspaper=[[The Columbus Dispatch]]|access-date=December 17, 2010|publisher=Dispatch Printing Co.|author2=Saunders, Amy|name-list-style=amp}}</ref> The annual "Andyman-a-Thon" also continues in his name.<ref name="Andyman-a-Thon pt2">{{cite web|url=http://cd101.com/sections/events/Andyman-a-thon.aspx|title=CD101 For The Kids|access-date=December 17, 2010|quote=This year, no one specific DJ will be on-air for the entire time period, but the goal is still the same: to raise money and awareness for families and children’s charities in Central Ohio.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.columbusalive.com/article/20111123/ENTERTAINMENT/311239586|title=Feature: CD101 after Andyman|last=Alive|first=Chris DeVille, Columbus|website=Columbus Alive|language=en|access-date=2019-12-04}}</ref>
