History edit

The company was founded on July 30, 2003[2] by the ABC Radio Networks, a former subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company.

In the sale of the ABC Radio Networks to Citadel Broadcasting (in 2007), the Radio Disney Network and their owned-and-operated radio stations are not included.[5]

In 2010, Radio Disney Group was started to sell their stations located outside of the 25 largest radio markets. The majority of the stations have gone silent, while others changed their format or maintained their regular format. On August 13, 2014, it was announced that Radio Disney will be selling off all of their stations (the majority owned by Radio Disney Group) except KDIS (owned on or before September 26, 2014) to focus on the digital XM radio and livestream radio (such as on TuneIn).[6][7][8] While the stations were originally slated to sign off on September 26, the stations remained on the air and continued to carry Radio Disney programming until they were sold.[9] The sale of the last station (WSDZ,[10] to Salem Media Group)[11] was completed on December 18, 2015.[10]
