History

WHDR was originally Classical WTMI, which ran from 1971 to 2001. On New Year's Eve 2001, it flipped to a "Pure Dance" format and became WPYM, "Party 93.1, South Florida's Pure Dance Channel." During its three year run, the station was popular with the area's dance music fans. The station earned an "Innovators Award" from "Billboard" magazine in 2002 and a "Best Dance Radio Station Award" at the 2004 Dancestar USA honors. WPYM's demise came in February 14, 2005. Cox Radio took advantage of the sudden departure of WMGE flip from Rock to Hispanic Rhythmic by picking up the Rock format.

WHDR is South Florida's only pure rock station. The playlist ranges from 70's, 80's & 90's mainstream rock to newly released mainstream rock & active rock.

WHDR-HD2

On March 24, 2008, Cox radio relaunched "Party 93.1" on its HD2 subcarrier. Like its predecessor, this one is also running jockless but the dance music being played this time around is more broadened.
