History

WFIN first went on the air December 15, 1941, under the ownership of Findlay Radio Company, headed by Cloyce W. Oxley, who also served as the station's general manager. Studios and offices were located at 500 1/2 South Main Street in downtown Findlay. The station operated at its current frequency and daytime power, but with no nighttime authorization.

In September of 1949, WFIN was sold to Findlay Publishing Company. R.L. Heminger was the company president, and Harold Heminger was named general manager. In 1957, studios and offices were moved to the second floor of 101 West Sandusky Street.

In late 1987, the FCC granted limited nighttime power parameters for Class III Regional stations, including WFIN. The following year, WFIN began broadcasting with nighttime power at 79 watts, as it continues to do so today.
