WCFL 104.7 FM is a Christian radio station licensed to Morris, Illinois and owned by the Illinois Bible Institute, the educational branch of the Illinois District Council of the Assemblies of God. WCFL airs a Contemporary Christian music format, relaying the programming of 91.7 WBGL in Champaign, Illinois.

History

WCFL 104.7 originally held the call letters WRMI before becoming WCSJ-FM in 1978. In 1988 the station changed its call letters to WUEZ and aired an easy listening music format. In 1990 the station changed is callsign to WCFL and adopted an Oldies format with the branding "Super CFL" using slogans and jingles which harkened back to WCFL (AM) 1000. The original WCFL-FM air staff included Gary Rivers, Bob Zak, Tom Kapsalis, Don Beno, and Jeff Andrews. The station played rock and roll oldies until 1993 when the station was sold to the Illinois District Council of the Assemblies of God. WCFL adopted its present Contemporary Christian music format in May 1994, and began relaying the programming of WBGL full-time in 2002.
