WSFR (107.7 FM, "The Eagle") is a rock-leaning classic hits–formatted radio station that plays music from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. It is broadcast from the SummitMedia facility on Chestnut Centre in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, and its city of license is Corydon, Indiana. It transmits from a broadcast tower near Elizabeth, Indiana west of the Ohio River, which it shares with WAY-FM station WAYK/105.9, and Alpha Media's WGZB/96.5.
History
In 1994, WWSN was a country station called "The Hawk". Regent Communications moved the WHKW letters from 103.9 to a new dial position 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 Summit Media LLC for $66.25 million. The sale was consummated on May 3, 2013.[5][6]
