WFLO Has Big Deal for Sale of Radio Stations

FARMVILLE – Listeners of the local Farmville based radio stations WFLO-AM 870 and FM 95.7 have likely heard that Francis Wood and his Colonial Broadcasting Co. have agreed to sell the company to Educational Media Foundation (EMF).

EMF is the non-profit parent company of Christian Contemporary Music stations Christian Contemporary KLOVE and Worship Music Air1.

WFLO-AM & FM operated as a local broadcast company for 74 years. The station began on August 12, 1947 when WFLO in Farmville was first introduced.

According to insideradio.com Educational Media Foundation filed a $750,000 deal to buy AC WFLO-FM (95.7) and country WFLO (870) in Farmville, Va. from Francis Wood’s Colonial Broadcasting. EMF currently owns three FMs in the nearby Richmond, Va. market including contemporary Christian “K-Love” network affiliates WLFV (98.9) and WKYV-FM (100.3), and “Air1” affiliate WARV (90.1). Colonial Broadcasting does not own any other stations.
