wdok fm on october 4 1954 by simulcasting its sister station wdok . eventually wdok fm originated its own programming and featured a beautiful music format . on december 12 1965 wdok am changed its callsign to wixy and adopted a top 40 format ; wdok fm itself changed its callsign to wdok . the station was branded stereo cleveland with the slogan beautiful music for the land of the western reserve . station personalities included wayne mack the founder of wdok am ; tom armstrong previously the morning host at wgar am in the 1940s and 50s ; and david mark who also worked for cleveland market beautiful music stations wqal wksw wjw am and wdbn . during this period the station was programmed by peter irmiter and neil hershberger . by the 1980s wdok had come under common ownership with wwwe ; both stations were sold on november 30 1987 by lake erie radio company owned by art modell and al lerner to the independent group limited partnership owned by tom embrescia larry pollock and tom wilson . soft rock 102.1 edit by the mid 1980s wdok s beautiful music format had brightened to a more contemporary flavor with more vocals being played and the vocals being by soft rock artists such as james taylor and elton john . ratings remained high but the format attracted mostly older listeners in advertiser unfriendly demographics and not the younger audiences courted by advertisers and so wdok made the final and complete switch to an adult contemporary format in 1987 with sue wilson as program director . the station promoted its new ac format with tv commercials announcing that it was coming out of the elevator as in elevator music . wdok initially positioned itself as a soft ac midway between beautiful music which continued for a few more years on wqal and the mainstream ac format played on wltf and wmji but eventually the format evolved into the soft rock approach . new 102 star 102 edit on january 9 2012 wdok debuted a new and more up tempo playlist going from soft ac to more mainstream ac re branding themselves as the new 102 complete with new logo and imaging . 3 on november 13 2012 wdok moved from its longtime studio home at one radio lane off east saint clair avenue in downtown cleveland to the halle building on euclid avenue also downtown . sister station wqal joined wdok in the move ; as a result all four cleveland cbs radio stations are now located in the same building . 4 on december 19 2012 longtime wdok morning host trapper jack elliot announced that the station had opted not to renew the contracts of both he and cohost jim mcintyre much to the dismay of many listeners . 5 in recent years wdok typically plays christmas music throughout the holiday season under the brand christmas 102 . 6 on april 3 2015 wdok rebranded as star 102 . 7 current
