WFNT
WFNT is a radio station broadcasting a news/talk format. Licensed to Flint, Michigan, it first began broadcasting in 1947 as WCLC, then WWOK. It became WKMF in 1953 which was a country music station during most of the years using that call sign. Its slogan during the country years was "the country music capital of the north." WKMF's country format enjoyed a high level of ratings success during the 1960s and 1970s, often ranking among or close to Flint's top five stations. It is under ownership of Townsquare Media, and its studios and transmitter are co-located in Burton, east of Flint.
It adopted its present call letters in 1993. Originally a talk station, WFNT later switched to adult standards, using ABC Radio's "Stardust" package with some local programming, including a daily shopping show and a Saturday-afternoon rock oldies program. Some of the show that was aired during the 1990s was G. Gordon Liddy, Rush Limbaugh, Ken Hamblin. Later they had a local talk show with Chris Pavelich and later on Tommy McIntyre and his producer Howard "The Knife" Gillespie.
Beginning in 2007, WFNT became the flagship station for the now-defunct Flint Generals minor league hockey radio broadcasts.
When Citadel Media ended the Timeless format in February 2010, WFNT changed its format on February 12, 2010 to news/talk.
WFNT is an affiliate of the Grand Valley State Laker football radio network.Previous logo
