WLFN (88.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a contemporary Christian format. Licensed to Flint, Michigan, it is a member of the K-Love radio network. The transmitter is in Burton near the intersection of South Vassar and East Bristol roads.
History
The station signed on in September 1997 as WGRI with an urban gospel format. After Gospel Radio International sold the station to the Educational Media Foundation, WGRI joined K-Love on October 1, 2001, and changed its call letters to WAKL on October 29. The station became WKMF on May 31, 2019, after EMF moved the WAKL call sign to a station it had acquired in the Atlanta market.
The station changed its call sign to WKVR on December 6, 2022, and to WLFN on October 10, 2024. The WKVR call sign was soon after recycled to a station in Columbus, Ohio, which was then being purchased by EMF, and now also simulcasts K-Love.
