History
[edit]WPFF was founded by Mark Schwarzbauer and operated through Family Educational Broadcasting[3]with a broadcast largely provided by CCM. This format remained in place until just before his retirement in 2008.[4]WPFF was sold to Bethesda Christian Broadcasting in December 2007. On October 23, 2013, it was announced that WPFF,WNLIand their associated translators would be sold toEducational Media Foundation,owners of theK-LoveandAir1Christian music networks.[5]In mid-January 2014, the station announced that, with the sale to EMF closing, it would switch to K-Love, with sister station WNLI carrying Air1.[6]The sale, at a price of $825,000, was completed on February 14, 2014. WNLI has since been sold toSuring, Wisconsin-basedWRVMand now operates as a rebroadcaster of WRVM with calls WPVM.
On January 8, 2020,WPCK(104.9), a former commercial station licensed toDenmarkthat was recently acquired by EMF fromCumulus Media,began to also carry K-Love. It is unknown if there are plans to adjust WPFF's own programming, be it either station carrying Air1, and/or an adjustment of WPFF's translators to balance the carriage of both networks (as-is, a sole Sheboygan translator currently carries Air1 in Wisconsin over-the-air).
