lost its tower along Business 40 in Winston-Salem when severe storms struck the area. The station returned to the air with reduced power, but did not fully cover the market until a new tower was completed north of Lexington, which would be shared with WWGL. For two years in the 1990s, WFDD aired Wake Forest football and basketball games, but many listeners complained. For many years, WFDD's format was a mix of NPR programming and classical music. In 2005, WFDD began airing more talk programming from NPR, with no classical music during the day on most weekdays. With less classical music, many classical music listeners protested the change by ceasing their donations; at the same time, the station saw an influx of new donors who appreciated the news and discussion programming. The station added a 24-hour classical music station on its HD radio subcarrier. In 2009, WFDD began Radio Camp, a week-long experience for middle schoolers, where students learn the basics of conducting interviews, how to operate professional sound editing software, and create their own stories to be broadcast. The camp is held at the WFDD studio on Wake Forest University's campus. WFDD competes in much of its coverage area with WUNC-FM in Chapel Hill, the main NPR member for the Triangle. WUNC has long claimed the eastern Triad, including Greensboro, as part of its primary coverage area; its transmitter in Chatham County is roughly halfway between Greensboro and the core of the Triangle.
