Technical information

WADL broadcasts on UHF channel 38, operating with an Effective radiated power of 5,000,000 watts and its digital signal on channel 39, also on the UHF dial, operates with an ERP of 1,000 kilowatts -- all as authorized by the Federal Communications Commission. WADL's transmitter which is directionally aligned, is in the vicinity of its studios and offices on Adell Drive near the area of 15 Mile Road and Gratiot Avenue. The transmitter is directional.

The station's signal reaches across Genesee County, Lapeer County, Livingston County, Oakland County, Macomb County, Monroe County, St. Clair County, Washtenaw County, and Wayne County, all in Michigan and only Essex County, and Lambton County, in Ontario Canada.

On cable,WADL can be seen on Comcast Detroit channel 4 and Bright House Networks Livonia channel 19. It is not seen on Cogeco Windsor. It is however available on Cogeco Cable in some rural areas of Southwestern Ontario. This is from previous cable companies in the rural Southwestern Ontario areas that were purchased by Cogeco around 2000, and the station has simply remained on their lineups.

History

WADL began operation in 1989, after having filed for a broadcasting license on September 25, 1985. Its original programming blocks were filled with mostly Home Shopping Network programs, religious shows and other paid programming, classic B&W movies and hourly blocks of the syndicated music video show Hit Video USA. In 1990, it began running several hours of syndicated shows. In addition programs and rebroadcast of newscasts from the cross-town Fox Broadcasting Company Owned and operated station WJBK -- which was the CBS affiliate at the time.

WADL is considered "The 5 Million Watt Powerhouse" because it has one of the strongest signals in the area. In 1992, it became closely associated with WJBK and was often referred to as "Detroit's Alternate CBS Station". Up until roughly 1996, the station had also rebroadcasted the 6:00 pm newscast from WJBK when it was the CBS affiliate for Detroit, seen at a later time -- typically at 8:00 pm on the same night. WADL has since stopped this practice shortly there after.

In 1994, WJBK would defect to Fox after that network struck a deal with its then-owner New World Communications. When it did, WADL was the top choice to become the new CBS station. However, Adell made unreasonable demands of CBS that caused the deal to quickly breakdown and talks to abruptly discontinue. With the impending loss of a CBS affiliate, CBS even considered purchasing WXYZ-TV, E.W. Scripps' longtime ABC affiliate, but E.W. Scripps declined, and kept the ABC affiliation for WXYZ-TV. As a result of losing WJBK and with WXYZ and WADL being unreceptive to a CBS affiliation, CBS was sent to make a deal with WGPR-TV (now WWJ-TV). They would eventually purchase that station in 1995.
