Wfic now fbn?

B

BroJoshOwens

I was looking at the FBN stations list this evening and saw WFIC listed! From what I can see online, it's now owned by Grace Missionary Baptist Church, DBA Grace Christian School. Is that the one in Newport, NC which has the flagship or could it be one actually in the Martinsville area? I don't know of one, but stranger things have happened. I also see that the license was issued on April 26, 2013. So, does that mean that GMBC DBA GCS took possession of it on that day, or they already had and just renewed it? I didn't hear WFIC while in Brown Summit, NC when I was there last month, so I was unaware of any of this 'til this evening. I used to be able to hear FIC there, but it may have been on a different rig.

A man for whom Christ died,

I always scan the AM dial when I visit Martinsville, last trip didn't get anything on the WFIC frequency. Last time I was able to get something it was satellite adult urban which was probably no more than a year ago. I do recall reading in the Martinsville Bulletin doing an article at one point saying WFIC was urban gospel. I think urban gospel is a big hole in that area and would do well.
 
FBN is certainly different. Wikipedia is saying country, southern gospel and that the call letters stand for "We First In Christ" when the station signed on I was told "First in Collinsville" have a friend that lives in Martinsville will see what I can find out.
