WNDV-FM (92.9 MHz, "U93") is a radio station broadcasting a contemporary hit radio format. The station serves the South Bend, Indiana, area.
The station signed on in August 1962, with the call letters WNDU-FM; it was owned by the University of Notre Dame (from which the call sign was derived), along with WNDU (1490 AM) and WNDU-TV (channel 16). In its early years, WNDU-FM simulcast the programming of its AM counterpart.[3][4] On July 16, 1971, the station switched to the Drake-Chenault "Hit Parade" format.[5][6] The station switched to its current contemporary hit radio format on October 22, 1979.[7] The station changed its call letters to WNDV-FM, when it was sold by the university in November 1998, to Artistic Media Partners.[8]
