In addition to a standard analog transmission, WCRF-FM is available online, and extends its coverage outside of the Greater Cleveland area by using five full-power satellites.

History

WCRF-FM signed on November 23, 1958 under the ownership of the Moody Bible Institute (MBI); WCRF was the first Moody radio station outside of Moody's home in Chicago, Illinois.[1] In 1981, the FM suffix was re-added to the call sign after having been removed in 1960. WCRF celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2008.[2]

In 1998, WCRF won the National Association of Broadcasters Marconi Award for Religious/Gospel Station of the Year.[3]

Current programming

The station features a locally-produced morning show hosted by Brian Dahlen and Jannelle Nevels. Daily Christian talk and teaching programs account for all other programming.

WCRF is a member of both the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) and the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA).
