Licensed to Springfield, Illinois, the station is owned by Neuhoff Corp., through licensee Neuhoff Media Springfield, LLC. WFMB features a variety of local hosts, as well as programming from ESPN Radio. HistoryWFMB was first licensed, with the sequentially issued call letters WCBS, on August 19, 1926[1] as a portable broadcasting station assigned to Harold L. Dewing and Charles H. Messter of Providence, Rhode Island.[2] Portable stations could be transported from place-to-place on movable platforms such as trucks. They were commonly hired out for a few weeks at a time to theaters located in small towns that didn't have their own radio stations, to be used for special programs broadcast to the local community. (Regulating "moving targets" proved difficult, so in May 1928 the Federal Radio Commission announced it was ending the licensing of portable facilities.)[3] WCBS career as a portable was brief. After finding limited prospects in New England, Harold Dewing set out for the midwest.[4] He moved the station to Springfield in late 1926, where it gave a debut broadcast from the Lyric Theater on December 10th,[5] and Springfield became the station's permanent home.[6] On September 8, 1946, the station call sign was changed to WCVS so that the CBS flagship station in New York City could become WCBS.[7] WCVS operated with a Top 40 format in the 1960s and 1970s. The current call letters of WFMB were adopted on October 1, 1992. The station still operates from an historic radio tower in suburban Springfield, IL (Southern View), which was constructed in the late 1940’s (and was the original transmitter location for WICS-TV).
