Quick Facts Frequency, Programming ...

Because AM 1110 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations WBT Charlotte and KFAB Omaha, WSFW is a daytimer and must go off the air at sunset to avoid interference. Programming is heard around the clock over a 200-watt FM translator, W296DI on 107.1 MHz.[2]

History

On October 1, 1968, WSFW signed on the air.[3] It was owned by the Waterfalls Broadcasting Company. One month later, it added an FM counterpart, 99.3 WSFW-FM (now WFLK). The two stations simulcast a full service middle of the road format of popular music, news and sports.

In 2007, WSFW dropped its "Finger Lakes News-Talk Network" simulcast with WGVA Geneva, WCGR Canadaigua and WAUB Auburn, New York, then flipped to a travelers information format.[4]

WSFW was sold to Calvary Chapel Twin Falls on November 12, 2009.[5] The assignment of license was approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on January 12, 2010.[6] At this point, WSFW adopted its current Christian talk and teaching format, supplied by CSN International.
