WMFE-FM is a public radio station in Orlando, Florida, owned by Community Communications, Inc., the owners of WMFE-TV.
The station signed on in 1980 playing a mix of public radio news/talk, jazz, and classical music, the jazz music was dropped in 1983. Prior to that year, Orlando was the largest city in the United States with no full-time public radio service and only had a part-time affiliation with WUCF-FM (WFTU-FM until 1978).
WMFE-FM previously aired a combination of public radio programming and classical music. In November, 2009, the primary HD1 channel switched to an all-news/talk format with programs from NPR and other public radio sources. All classical music was moved to the HD2 channel.
In April 2011, Community Communications announced that they have sold WMFE-TV to Daystar Television Network, due to economic conditions. They will keep WMFE-FM's station and callsign, as they feel that the radio station is more successful than television. [1][2][3][4]
