WFCV (1090 AM) is a radio station located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States. It is one of a network of stations owned and operated by the Bott Broadcasting Company.
WFCV broadcasts an Christian radio format as a member of the Bott Radio Network.[1] The station was assigned the WFCV call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on May 2, 1980.[2]
The station debuted in 1968 as WFWR with a middle of the road music format, which was changed in 1971 to become the market's first country music station. Following a sale in 1976, the country format was changed to easy listening music, which continued until 1980, when Bott Broadcasting purchased WFWR and changed the calls to WFCV.
