The transmitter site and three towers (home built by Coning himself) remains located in the Preble County rural community of Glenwood just east of Eaton.

The station returned to the air in July of 2004 as WEDI,now owned by Town and Country Broadcasting. Its current format is country oldies from the 1950s up to the 1980s in addition to bluegrass and country gospel music programming as "Classic Country Radio" as the Western Ohio/Eastern Indiana repeater of WBZI(AM) 1500 in Xenia, Ohio which serves Xenia,Springfield,eastern Dayton and surrouding areas..
