FCC Asked To OK WFCC Sale To K-Love

It withstood the 1987 stock market crash just months after its March debut that year, offering fine arts programming to listeners across Cape Cod and Nantucket. In 1996 it became a sibling to Boston’s main Classical radio station. Now, “Something Finer” is poised to yield way to the Good Book, if you will — the nation’s largest Christian Contemporary Music network is coming.


WFCC-FM 107.5 in Chatham, Mass., with a Class B signal, is being sold by Cape Cod Broadcasting License I LLC and Sandab Communications Ltd. Partnership II to K-Love.

A $362,000 purchase price was agreed to, with an $18,100 escrow deposit being held by broker Robert Maccini of Signal Ventures Inc., representing the seller.

Serving as the seller’s legal counsel is Matthew DelNero of Covington Law; K-LOVE’s legal counsel is again Paige Fronabarger at Wilkinson Barker Knauer.

With the sale of WFCC, one of the country’s last commercially licensed Classical stations is poised to come to its conclusion. It also brings a format hole to the region, as WCRB’s over-the-air signal cannot be heard on Cape Cod.
