WFCI was originally a student-programmed station, which broadcast various music formats over the years as well as Franklin College sports events.
After a license challenge in 2004, WFCI entered an agreement to rebroadcast public radio station WFYI-FM in Indianapolis.
After being silent all year, WFCI activated a new transmitter facility on the WTTV tower near Trafalgar and increased its power to 1,000 watts that October.
[7] WFCI shifted toward a more typical alternative rock music format in the 1990s, putting it up against Indianapolis station WRZX (103.3 FM).
These school-operated stations, including WFCI, did not broadcast a full 24-hour day, and Hoosier tried to force them into sharing time with them on their frequencies by way of a little-used Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rule.
[14] In 2022, Franklin College announced it would sell WFCI to Inter Mirifica, the operating organization of WSPM–WSQM "Catholic Radio Indy".
