A longtime full-power home for classical music on Cape Cod will soon be K-Love’s first entry on the peninsula.
The Christian radio network will purchase 50 kW Class B 107.5 WFCC(FM), “Cape Classical 107.5,” licensed to Chatham.
The deal is for $362,000, according to its FCC filing, and it is pending commission approval.
WFCC is owned by Cape Cod Broadcasting Media, also known as Sandab Communications, which also owns 99.9 WQRC(FM), 103.9 WKPE(FM) and 104.7 WOCN(FM) on the Cape.
Kitty Dukakis, the wife of Massachusetts governor and then-presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, threw on the switch for the signal for WFCC in March 1987, according to a Barnstable Patriot commentary by original owner Joseph Ryan.
WFCC operated under First Class Communications — hence the calls — and the station has prominently featured classical music since.
Sandab Communications purchased the signal from Charles River Broadcasting in 2007.
It marks K-Love’s first signal on Cape Cod. The network also owns and is heard on Class A 91.1 WTKL(FM) in New Bedford, Mass., to the west.
