CFWC-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 93.9 FM in Brantford, Ontario. The station airs a Christian music format branded as Faith FM and is owned by Sound of Faith Broadcasting Inc.

History

On October 11, 2001, Anthony Schleifer, on behalf of a company to be incorporated, received approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to operate an english-language specialty FM radio programming undertaking at Brantford.^[1] The station's original frequency was 99.5 FM and was branded as "Freshwind 99.5" when it began broadcasting in early 2002. Its transmitter located atop a church steeple, with its studios and offices at 271 Greenwich Street in Brantford. The station has also been given permission to increase power to 250 watts, but was not carried out at the time it was granted.

On May 20, 2004, CFWC-FM was given CRTC approval to change frequency from 99.5 to 93.9 MHz and to increase effective radiated power from 50 to 250 watts. Antenna height remained 23.9 metres EHAAT.^[2] When CFWC moved to 93.9 MHz, it adopted the name "Power 93.9".

In 2010, an application was filed with the CRTC, under which the station would be sold to Durham Radio, and would change its format from Christian programming to a mainstream commercial format. On February 10, 2011, the CRTC denied the application, noting that it appeared to be an attempt to bypass the normal competitive licensing process.^[3]

On February 17, 2012, an application was filed with the CRTC under which the station would be sold to Sound of Faith Broadcasting Inc. The deal was subsequently approved by the CRTC on June 28, 2012,^[4] with Sound of Faith Broadcasting officially taking ownership on August 24, 2012. The station was subsequently renamed FaithFM.
