WSFW (1110 kHz) is an AM radio station broadcasting a Christian talk and teaching radio format. Licensed to Seneca Falls, New York, United States, the station is currently an owned-and-operated station of CSN International.{{cite web|url=http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/sta_det.pl?Facility_id=5391 |title=Station Search Details |work=United States Federal Communications Commission, audio division }} Accessed July 17, 2012 Some of the national religious leaders heard on WSFW include Adrian Rogers, David Jeremiah and James Dobson.

Because AM 1110 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations WBT Charlotte and KFAB Omaha, WSFW is a daytimer and must go off the air at sunset to avoid interference. Programming is heard around the clock over a 200-watt FM translator, W296DI on 107.1 MHz.[https://radio-locator.com/info/W296DI-FX Radio-Locator.com/W296DI]

History

On October 1, 1968, WSFW signed on the air.[https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC-YB/1970/B%20Radio%20All%20BC%20YB%201970%20All-3.pdf Broadcasting Yearbook 1970 page B-141] It was owned by the Waterfalls Broadcasting Company. One month later, it added an FM counterpart, 99.3 WSFW-FM (now WFLK). The two stations simulcast a full service middle of the road format of popular music, news and sports.

In 2007, WSFW dropped its "Finger Lakes News-Talk Network" simulcast with WGVA Geneva, WCGR Canadaigua and WAUB Auburn, New York, then flipped to a travelers information format.[http://www.fybush.com/NERW/2007/070122/nerw.html#ny A format change in the Finger Lakes (WSFW)], Scott Fybush/Northeast Radio Watch, January 22, 2007.

WSFW was sold to Calvary Chapel Twin Falls on November 12, 2009.{{cite web|url=https://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/cdbsmenu.hts?context=25&appn=101340687&formid=314&fac_num=5391 |title=APPLICATION FOR CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT OF BROADCAST STATION CONSTRUCTION PERMIT OR LICENSE |work=United States Federal Communications Commission, audio division }} Accessed July 17, 2012 The assignment of license was approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on January 12, 2010.{{cite web|url=http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/app_det.pl?Application_id=1340687 |title=APPLICATION FOR CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT OF BROADCAST STATION CONSTRUCTION PERMIT OR LICENSE |work=United States Federal Communications Commission, audio division }} Accessed July 17, 2012 At this point, WSFW adopted its current Christian talk and teaching format, supplied by CSN International.
