History
In 1994, WWSN was a country music station called "The Hawk". Regent Communications moved the WHKW letters from 103.9 to the new station at 107.7.[1][2] In 1996, the station became known as WSFR and aired a classic rock format.
On October 28, 2011, WSFR relaunched its classic rock format as "107.7 The Eagle", billing themselves as "Louisville Classic Hits".[3][4]
On July 20, 2012, Cox Radio, Inc. announced the sale of WSFR and 22 other stations to SummitMedia LLC for $66.25 million. The sale was consummated on May 3, 2013.[5][6]
On March 8, 2021, WSFR shifted their format from a classic hits/classic rock hybrid to classic rock, still under the "107.7 The Eagle" branding, but emphasizing the "Classic Rock" slogan.[7]
On December 20, 2022, WSFR dropped the “Eagle” branding and rebranded as "Classic Rock 107.7".[8]
