WFCB-LP is a community radio station in Ferndale, Michigan owned by Underwood V Radio, Incorporated (pronounced "Underwood Five Radio"), having launched in 2016 on 100.7 MHz. The station covers the immediate Ferndale and Royal Oak areas, as well as portions of Detroit's North End. The station's application was confirmed as acceptable by Industry Canada for coordination purposes under NARBA, on July 25, 2014 and its construction permit was granted on August 7, 2014. The station is somewhat unusual in that upon gaining FCC authorization, its owners launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise the necessary funds to purchase station equipment, a tower for their antenna, and a studio to begin broadcasts.
Due to its proximity and frequency, the station is subject to interference from nearby CKUE-FM-1 in Windsor, Ontario, which broadcasts at a substantially higher power (3.84 kW) from a tower very close to the Canada–United States border.
