WRDT
WRDT, known on the air as "The Word AM 560, Detroit's Christian Talk", is a radio station licensed to Monroe, Michigan, serving the Detroit metropolitan area. The station broadcasts in HD Radio with 500 Watts daytime power from a transmitter located in South Monroe, MI, and 14 Watts nighttime power (Non-HD) from a transmitter located in Royal Oak Township, Michigan. The Royal Oak Township location shares the Greater Media tower with WCSX, WRIF & WMGC. Its low frequency and strongly directional daytime signal give the station good coverage of the Detroit market, despite the lower power.
WRDT is owned by Crawford Broadcasting with sister stations WMUZ 103.5 FM and WEXL 1340 AM.
==Early history: WQTE==
AM 560 went on the air in 1956 as WMIC, owned by McIntyre Broadcasting, and originally featured a block programmed variety format, including some rock and roll programs. In 1959, the station was purchased by Dick Jones, Ross Mulholland and the Brink family, and its calls were changed to WQTE. Originally, WQTE aired what would now be called an Adult Contemporary music format, but in 1960 the station made a shift to all-out Top 40, dubbing itself "Cutie Radio" and "Fabulous 56" and issuing a survey called "The Cutie Music Meter." The Production Director was the well-known Bob Bennett, who became General Manager of Bob Hope's station WBMJ-AM in San Juan. WQTE personalities during this time included Tom Clay (who emceed popular dances for the station at Cobo Hall), and Ed McKenzie, best remembered to Detroit audiences as "Jack the Bellboy" on WJBK radio in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Also heard on WQTE during this time was Ralph Binge and Eddie Chase. After a year of competing against WJBK, WXYZ, WKMH and, to a lesser extent, CKLW, for the ears of Detroit's teen audience, WQTE gave up on Top 40 and changed to an Easy Listening/MOR format, becoming a modest success - the Early Morning announcer was Roy Blair who later joined WJBK-TV. Early rock and roll music would once again be heard on AM 560.
