Until its sale to Great Eastern Radio in 2021, WWFK was known for frequent changes in format and management throughout its existence; founding owner Radioactive, LLC, controlled by Randy Michaels, outsourced operations of the station to other companies and organizations that typically only ran the station for a year at a time.
