Radio WMFD-AM (The Zone)

WMFD (630 AM) is a sports radio station broadcasting in Wilmington, North Carolina. It is currently branded under the ESPN Radio.

WMFD was Wilmington's first radio station. The call letters have not changed since 1941.

In May 1996, Community Broadcasting sold WMFD, WUOY, and WBMS radio stations to a new company called Ocean Broadcasting. At this time, WMFD added Dr. Laura Schlessinger and The Fabulous Sports Babe, as well as CNN News part of the time.

In 2000, WMFD changed to sports radio and added the minor-league baseball team Wilmington Waves.

In July 2004, NextMedia Group purchased WRQR, WAZO, and WMFD from Ocean Broadcasting, and WKXB and WSFM from Sea-Comm Inc.

In July 2008, Capitol Broadcasting announced its purchase of NextMedia's Wilmington stations.
