History

The station went on the air as WFRN on March 26, 1979 as the culmination of the dream of Ed Moore for a Contemporary Christian music station. The station was an extension of the AM sister station which has been on the air since 1956 providing nationally recognized Christian programming.

WFRN, along with its sister stations WFRR and WFRI and a network of repeater stations, covers over 30 counties throughout the northern half of Indiana and southern Michigan.

On July 6, 1993, the AM station changed its call sign from WCMR to WFRN. It switched back to WCMR in 2009. WCMR offers a southern gospel music format.

A third station, WGNC-FM "God and Country" 88.5 FM, was added to the WFRN family in January 2013. WGNC, licensed to Constantine, Michigan and broadcasting with 15,000 watts of power, offers a format of "family-friendly" country music.
