WFWO signed on in 2010. On February 12, 2013, WFWO went silent.[1] It applied for an extension of its special temporary authority to remain silent on November 1, 2013. The station had been rebuked by the FCC for attempting to broadcast from a tower in Buffalo instead of their city of license (Medina) without FCC permission. On August 26, 2014, the FCC cancelled WFWO's license.
A separate license on the 89.7 frequency was awarded to the neighboring village of Albion shortly thereafter. That station, W209BF, operates on a much lower power (38 watts) and simulcasts the Family Life Network.
