DCHS sports were broadcast exclusively until this year on WDKN-AM 1260. The over-50-year-old station went off the air March 19. The station opened under new ownership – R&F Communications – Monday, and plans to also broadcast DCHS sports. The new WDKN
general manager, Kenneth Forte, said the station might also branch out into covering other sports.
