Owned by the Moody Bible Institute, the station broadcasts a religious format and is the Cleveland affiliate for Moody Radio.

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 the air on November 23, 1958.^[2] Since its founding, it has been owned by the Moody Bible Institute. WCRF was the first Moody radio station outside the ministry's home base of Chicago.^[3] In 1981, the "-FM" suffix was re-added to the call sign after having been removed in 1960. WCRF-FM celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2008.^[4]

In 1998, WCRF won the National Association of Broadcasters Marconi Award for "Religious/Gospel Station of the Year."^[5]

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.
