context_page_description: WKDD – branded 98.1 KDD – is a commercial hot adult contemporary radio station licensed to Munroe Falls, Ohio, serving both the Akron and Canton metro areas. Owned by iHeartMedia, Inc., the station serves as the local affiliate for American Top 40. The WKDD studios are located in the Canton suburb of North Canton, while the station transmitter resides in the Akron suburb of Cuyahoga Falls. Besides a standard analog transmission, WKDD broadcasts over two HD Radio channels, and streams online via iHeartRadio.
context_section_description: In 1997, Mortenson opted to sell off WTOF-FM, and Akron-licensed station WHLO (640 AM), to California-based Salem Communications; soon the West Coast firm would change the station's callsign to WHK-FM. Salem had already purchased WHK (1420 AM) the previous year and flipped its format from news/talk to religious programming; the new WHK-FM would simulcast its sister station's content for the next few years.
  During this time, nationally syndicated area pastor Alistair Begg aired daily on both WHK and WHK-FM. In October 1997, both stations broadcast live from the "Stand in the Gap" rally held by Promise Keepers. In September 2000, WHK-FM joined Rock Contemporary Christian Radio Inc., a radio network airing contemporary Christian music.
