WIFR, virtual channel 23, is the CBS television affiliate based in Rockford, Illinois and licensed to nearby Freeport. It broadcasts its digital signal on UHF channel 41 from a transmitter at its studios on North Meridian Road in Rockford. though it formerly broadcast its analog signal on channel 23, which it continues to use as its virtual digital channel via PSIP. It is currently owned by Gray Television. WIFR is the only television station in the Rockford market to retain the same network affiliation since it first signed-on.
The station went on the air as WCEE-TV on September 12, 1965. It was originally owned by Rock River Television Corporation. The area's previous CBS affiliate, WREX-TV, switched to ABC full-time, sending CBS to WCEE. It has been with CBS ever since, and is the only station in the market to have never switched affiliations. The call letters were changed to the present WIFR in 1977 and stand for "Wisconsin-Illinois-Freeport-Rockford." General Media sold the station to Worrell Newspapers of Charlottesville, Virginia in September of that year. Worrell sold all three stations WIFR, WHSV-TV in Harrisonburg, Virginia and now-defunct WBNB-TV in Charlotte Amalie, U.S. Virgin Islands to Benedek Broadcasting in 1986. When Benedek went bankrupt in 2002, WIFR and WHSV were acquired by current owner Gray Television.
Desfrutar de ti
Oh, yeah yeah yeah, oh, yeah
You know I'm comin' though hotter, drip sweat meltin' ya collar
Afu-Ra takin' care like I'm ya father
Some call me papa though I'm rollin' with the rastas
Straight up and down, I'm like the sauce over the pasta
I'm well connected to all my people's doin' salsa
One of my trademarks, you'll catch me drinkin' Malta
You need some paprika to freak the
I let you know I came through just to reach ya
I do it one more time, bless this feature
Will take with nothin' unlike self I mover
Heat it right up, burnin' like it's lava
Test you leavin' with hoes like Godfather
Sounds soakin' off honeys like it was lather
Study lessons and plant seeds to nurture
Praise due to this, show and prove with this
Knowledge yourself, Life Force'll make you move with this
No hay nada, que me sostenga
Yo estoy lista, para desfrutar de ti
Quiero tu calor, arridedor, de me ser
Oh, oh, oh, there's just nothin'
That can keep me from you, you, you, oh oh oh
Said, there's just nothin' when all I want [Incomprehensible]
Sound Bombing number one right, hate blow it like it's dynamite
Destined to keep ya molecules shakin' right
Flippin' my script as if I was a gymnast
I'm fusin' coasts together like I'm a chemist
Ayyo, you leavin' the party, yo, it ain't finished
A dred shakin' so hearty, so what's your business
You callin' my cell phone, sayin', "Who is this?"
I throw it down to expand my interest
I take it higher to master engraver
You know the chicas want that papi chulo flavor
I do it for the north, south, east, west behavior
Wait a minute, hold up yo, yo, there go my pager
Beeper beepin', ringin', comin' from my celli
If ya ever had days like this, then tell me
Praise due to this, show and prove with this
Knowledge yourself, Life Force'll make you move with this
No hay nada, que me sostenga
Yo estoy lista, para desfrutar de ti
Quiero tu calor, arridedor, de me ser
Oh, oh, oh, there's just nothin'
That can keep me from you, you, you
Oh, oh, oh, there's just nothin'
That can keep me from you, you, you, you
Oh oh oh oh, there's just nothin'
