History

In November 2013, Radio Free Fort Myers, Inc., applied to the Federal Communications Commission for a construction permit for a new broadcast radio station.[4] On April 6, 2015, after a two-year wait, a construction permit was granted to them by the FCC. On April 15, 2015, the new station was assigned call sign WFKM-LP[5]. On June 7, 2018, the station dropped their original call letters and was reassigned to WOKE-LP.[6][7][1] After construction and testing were completed, the station was granted its broadcast license on April 4, 2018.[2]

gollark: It seems like you suggested it got on from the #0 turtle initially, somehow.
gollark: Did they all randomly reboot?
gollark: Immediately? I'm pretty sure it can't do that.
gollark: What exactly *happened*? Nobody has been very clear on this.
gollark: That also doesn't mean you should completely ban programs you don't consider a "good idea".
