History of WZKD
 "Radio Aahs" From Radio Ink Magazine 
                                   ABC/Disney Pays “Radio Aahs” Successor $12.4 Million
Shares of Intelefilm Corp., formerly known Radio Aahs, jumped more than 20 percent after the company announced it received a payment of $12.4 million from ABC Radio Networks Inc. and the Walt Disney Corp.
The payment settled a dispute between Radio Aahs, a children's radio network and ABC/Disney that dates back to 1996. Radio Aahs had contracted with Disney to further develop the children's radio idea, but Disney terminated the contract and started its own radio network for children.
In May 2002 a jury awarded Radio Aahs $9.5 million as payment for the contract breach, to which was added $2.6 million in interest. Minneapolis-based Radio Aahs changed its name to Intelefilm and now supplies products and services to digitize and manipulate video and audio files.
