Everything about Wyfr totally explained
WYFR is a
shortwave radio station located in
Okeechobee, Florida,
United States. The station is owned by Family Stations, Inc., as part of the
Family Radio network, and broadcasts traditional
Christian radio programming to international audiences.
It began broadcasting on
October 20,
1973, after Family Stations acquired shortwave station
WNYW located in
Scituate, Massachusetts, and changed its
call letters to WYFR, which stand for
We're
Your
Family
Radio. The station built new transmitters in Okeechobee in
1977, and closed the Scituate site in
1979.
Before Family Radio's acquisition, the former station WNYW, which stood for Radio
New
York
Worldwide, broadcast American news programs to Europe and Africa; however, there were rumors that the station was being partially controlled by the
Central Intelligence Agency to broadcast
anti-communist propaganda. The current
Fox TV station WNYW took these
call letters over twelve years later, and has no affiliation with the shortwave station.
The
interval signal of WYFR is a brass quintet playing the first eight bars of "To God Be the Glory".
