WWFN-FM (100.1 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a sports radio format. Licensed to Lake City, South Carolina, United States, the station serves the Florence area. The station is currently owned by Cumulus Media and features programming from CBS Sports Radio.[3][4] It is simulcast with WLQR in Hartsville, South Carolina.[5]

History

WGFG played beautiful music prior to the late 1980s, switching first to MOR and then to country music, at which time the station became WQTR "Q-100". The current letters were chosen when the station became an oldies station with the name "Fun 100". Over the years, WWFN has also played classic rock and CHR.

In January 2013, WWFN switched from ESPN Radio to CBS Sports Radio.[6]
