WFCB-LP is a community radio station in Ferndale, Michigan owned by Ferndale Radio, Incorporated, formerly known as Underwood V Radio, Incorporated (pronounced "Underwood Five Radio"), having launched in 2016 on 100.7 MHz. Ferndale Radio was created by 5 friends who have a strong passion for music and missed the freedom and creative expression of college radio. The studio and tower is located in the heart of Ferndale at the Rust Belt Market. The station covers the immediate Ferndale and Royal Oak areas, as well as portions of Detroit's North End. The station is a non profit 501c 3 run completely by volunteers and supported by donations and local underwriters.
Currently, the station is hoping to include online streaming and started fundraising in May 2021 for their efforts.
The station's application was confirmed as acceptable by Industry Canada for coordination purposes under NARBA, on July 25, 2014 and its construction permit was granted on August 7, 2014. Due to its proximity and frequency, the station is subject to interference from nearby CKUE-FM-1 in Windsor, Ontario, which broadcasts at a substantially higher power (3.84 kW) from a tower very close to the Canada–United States border.
