Meda: Media Home Entertainment, Inc.

1978–1981

In 1978, filmmaker Charles Band established Media Home Entertainment. The word Meda was also the name of Band's then-wife.

Media Home Entertainment, Inc.

1981–1993

In 1981, MEDA was dropped and was simply renamed to Media Home Entertainment. Three years later in 1984, the company was purchased by Heron Communications (a subsidary of Gerald Ronson's Heron International).

In 1991, Media Home Entertainment titles were distributed by Fox Video and CBS/Fox Video. In 1993, most of the Media Home Entertainment assets were absorbed into Fox Video (later 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, now 20th Century Studios Home Entertainment being released under Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment using Buena Vista Home Entertainment), while its home video rights library was sold to Video Treasures (now Anchor Bay Entertainment).

ABC Radio, Inc. (1945–2007)

Note: All stations listed by market size -- largest to smallest -- with call letters at the time they were sold.

WFDF was originally in the Flint radio market before moving to Farmington Hills in the Detroit radio market in 2006. As a result of the station's move to Detroit, WFRO in the Toledo market as well as another station in Northern Michigan (also on 900) were taken off the air to allow WFDF to increase its broadcast power.
Disney/ABC never owned the station, but operated it under a Local Marketing Agreement. Birach Broadcasting has since taken complete, outright control of the station.
These stations are either silent or completely off the air at this time.
WGVX also simulcasts on 105.3 and 105.7.
