WCLN (107.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Christian Contemporary music format. Licensed to Clinton, North Carolina, USA, it serves the Fayetteville area. The station is currently owned by Christian Listening Network.

[edit] History

Larry Carr of Clinton operated WCLN-AM, a daytime-only AM at 1170, and WCLN-FM (then at 107.1 FM) prior to the 1991 purchase of the 16-year-old stations by Willis Broadcasting Corp. of Norfolk, Virginia. The stations' format would be adult contemporary music and oldies[1].

WCLN-AM and WCLN-FM were Christian when the FM station increased its power from 3000 to 25,000 watts and moved to 107.3 FM to better cover Fayetteville. Curt Nunnery of WFLB became sales manager[2].

By 1997, WCLN-AM was airing Southern gospel music separately from the FM[3].
