History
In June 2001, Beaver Springs Faith Baptist Church applied to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a construction permit for a new low-power FM radio station. The FCC granted this permit on May 12, 2003, with a scheduled expiration date of November 12, 2004.[1] The new station was assigned call sign "WFBM-LP" on May 20, 2003.[2] After construction and testing were completed in September 2004, the station was granted its broadcast license on May 12, 2005.[3]
Beaver Springs Faith Baptist Church, Inc., received a license for full-power WFBM (90.1 FM) so, per FCC regulations, surrendered its low-power broadcast license. The station's license was cancelled on January 23, 2012, and the WFBM-LP call sign was deleted from the FCC database.[2]
