WCFB is a radio station that is licensed to Daytona Beach, Florida that serves the Greater Orlando area. Its signal can be heard as far west as Inverness and as far north as Gainesville. Under ownership of Cox Radio, its studios are located in Orlando and the transmitter tower is in Pine Lakes. ==History== The station began in March 1947 as WNDB-FM and was owned by Daytona Beach News Journal. In 1978, the station became a soft adult contemporary as WWLV, ''"Love 94.5".'' In 1992, the calls changed to WCFB and the name was ''"B94.5"'', with the format country music. In 1995, it was purchased by New City Communications, and changed formats to Rhythmic AC, later evolving to Urban Adult Contemporary as ''"Star 94.5"''. This makes WCFB the first urban radio station in years in Orlando to challenge longtime WJHM, which switched formats from rhythmic contemporary to urban contemporary by that time. When WJHM returned to Rhythmic Top 40 in 2011, WCFB once again became the defacto Urban outlet in Central Florida, even though it has always stayed in its own lane with its audience rather than try to compete fiercely for listeners. WCFB was purchased by Cox Communications in 1997. A tornado on February 2, 2007 knocked Star's signal off the air for a brief period, as it destroyed the transmitter site and a nearby building, near Paisley. The station returned to the air broadcasting from a temporary transmitter located at another Cox owned tower in Christmas for a short period of time before the station's temporary transmitter site moved to high power facilities at a tower in Orange City off of Miller Rd. The replacement tower in Paisley was finished in mid-November 2007. As of October 24, 2008, WCFB has moved back to the Paisley site. On November 26, 2014 WCFB flipped from urban adult contemporary to classic hip hop. At that time, WCFB dropped the syndicated "Tom Joyner Morning Show", and replaced it with ''The Steve Harvey Morning Show''.〔(Star 94.5 Orlando Joins Classic Hip Hop Club )〕 In December 2014, WCFB flipped back to urban adult contemporary, with the classic hip hop format moving to their HD3 sub-channel.〔(Star 94.5 Orlando Retreats From All Classic Hip Hop )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WCFB」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
