WFCO is a Christian radio station licensed to Lancaster, Ohio, broadcasting on 90.9 MHz FM, and is owned by Lancaster Educational Broadcasting Foundation.[2]
WFCO currently airs a variety of contemporary Christian music from the mid-2000s to today. Previously the station aired classic Christian music from the 1970s, '80s, and '90s,[1] and also airs Christian Talk and Teaching programs including; Family Talk with Dr. James Dobson, Just Thinking and Let My People Think with Ravi Zacharias, Turning Point with David Jeremiah, Breakpoint, Precepts for Live with Kay Arthur and The Sunday Morning Drive.[3]
WFCO began broadcasting in 1988, and initially operated only 12 hours a day, running 200 watts. WFCO was originally owned by Fairfield Christian Academy, and the station was known as "Fairfield's Christian Outreach". WFCO began 24-hour operations in the early 1990s.
In 2002 WFCO moved to downtown Lancaster, added more local and musical programming and became known as "Peaceful 90.9 FM". In 2006 WFCO increased its power to 1,200 watts. In 2007 WFCO adopted its current branding of "Refreshing 90.9 FM". In 2013, the station began a more uniform schedule where most talk programs are in the morning hours and music is played in the afternoon and evening hours. One exception to this is WFCO's public affairs show Community Accent that airs live in the morning and replays in the evening. The station also broadcasts a variety of high school sports from area schools. This includes everything from basketball, baseball, football, soccer, softball, volleyball to even one track meet a year. al [1][4]
