River Radio Ministries agrees to terms to purchase Religious Refreshing 90.9 (WFCO/ Lancaster, OH) from Lancaster Educational Broadcasting Foundation. The deal is seeking FCC approval, but both parties have agreed upon a short Local Marketing Agreement effective November 1, 2019, at such time WFCO-FM will be rebranded under RRM’s “The River” Contemporary Christian format as “The New 90.9 the River”.

“We’re excited about this new chapter with WFCO. We appreciate the legacy of this station and what it has meant to Fairfield County. We look forward to carrying the torch forward and continuing to bring hope and encouragement through the music we play and the relationships we build in this great community. Welcome to our family at The River!”
