History

WFIW began broadcasting on August 21, 1953.[1] The station was originally owned by Thomas Smoot Land and Bryan Davidson, doing business as Wayne County Broadcasting Company.[5] In May 1974, Thomas Land would take sole ownership of the station,[3][5] and would later pass ownership of the station to his son, Dave Land.[6][7] In 2012, Land sold WFIW, along with WFIW-FM and WOKZ, to The Original Company for $962,766.67.[7][8]

WFIW originally ran 500 watts during daytime hours only.[5] On May 25, 1961, the station's power was increased to 1,000 watts.[3][5] From the early to mid 1980s, the station was an affiliate of Music of Your Life.[9][10] By 1986, the station was airing a modern country format.[11] By 1989, nighttime operations were added, running 87 watts.[12] By 1991, the station had added news-talk programming.[13][14] By 1993, the station was completely airing a talk format.[15]

The call letters WFIW were originally assigned to a station in Hopkinsville, Kentucky.[16] In 1932, that station was bought by George Norton Jr., and its transmitter was moved to Louisville, Kentucky, with the call letters being changed to WAVE.[17]
