HistoryAt 990 kHz WRFM (then WERK) first signed on in 1965 from a 90-acre 6 tower array south of Muncie. The original WERK "990 Werk" featured a Top 40 format, built by the Poorman family, who operated an ad agency. Wife Bettie is still well at 88 years{{when|date=March 2013}}. Bill Shirk later operated the station.{{citation needed|date=March 2013}} In 1999, the owners donated the license to a nonprofit, but did not include the 90 acre transmitter facility.[2] Electronic Applications Radio Service acquired the frequency as a donation and resurrected the former daytime-only station by means of an STA (special temporary authority) granted by the FCC in 1998 and returned to the air with 67 watts.[3] It was granted the callsign WLHN in 1999.{{citation needed|date=March 2013}} The callsign was switched to WRFM in March 2003, with Electronic Applications Radio Service being the new licensee. Greenfield-based Indiana Community Radio Corporation (ICRC) which operates WJCF-FM 88.1-FM in Morristown acquired station from Electronic Applications Radio Service. After the acquisition by ICRC, the station broadcast a news and information format as "True Talk For Indiana" then flipped to oldies in 2009 utilizing Scott Shannon's True Oldies Channel, which was a commercial 24/7 satellite music service offered by Citadel Media. WRFM also broadcasts via an FM translator W230AR 93.9Mhz in Muncie, IN with 250 watts. Today the station broadcasts a simulcast of WJCF-FM (for WhereJesus Comes First).
