WIDL (92.1 FM, "I92") is a radio station broadcasting a classic rock format. Licensed to Cass City, Michigan, it first began broadcasting on 104.9 MHz licensed to Caro, Michigan, and still maintains offices and studios in Caro with sister station WKYO. Overall, the station specializes in providing locally focused content such as regional news, weather and sports programming. It is owned by the Edwards Group Holdings, Inc., Employee Stock Ownership Trust, through licensee Edwards Communications LC, which also owns The Tuscola County Advertiser newspaper.
In late 2006, WIDL flipped formats from a variety hits format to a locally programmed Hot AC format which positions itself as "The Best Mix of The 80's 90's and Now" (sic). Past formats have included easy listening, adult contemporary, classic rock and oldies.
On February 3, 2017, WIDL changed its format from hot adult contemporary to classic rock, branded as "I92".[3]
