Mass Media
The nature of the Electronic Media program at Freed-Hardeman is two-fold:
First, it serves as a training ground for students interested in the field of broadcast communication. Campus and community radio station, WFHU, is a 10,500 watt non-commercial/educational FM broadcast station that provides “real world” experience for training students in: air-talent, studio production, sports play-by-play, broadcast news reporting, media management, and promotions & marketing.
Secondly, the two facilities offer the community access to programming not readily available through other media outlets. WFHU provides an alternative for listeners. WFHU, 91.5 the Lion provides the Henderson community with local high school football and FHU basketball play-by-play coverage, live-remote broadcast from community events around town, local community service projects using broadcast skills, as well as severe weather coverage year-round.
You do not have to be a communications major to work with WFHU. Many student workers are involved in other programs at Freed-Hardeman.
History
WFHC applied for an upgrade from 10 to 3,000 watts in 1979 and the next year it was granted. The transmitter that had been previously used was too small to broadcast at such a power, so construction began on a new tower located in the nearby Freed-Hardeman-owned Mid South Youth Camp. When the tower was completed, it stood 350 feet tall. In 1982 Freed-Hardeman completed what is now the E. Claude Gardner Center, and WFHC was given a large area to move the station, one that allowed for the continual growth in size and quality on the top floor in Room 303.
In November of 1999 WFHC began operating 24 hours a day. This was a change from the 6:00am sign on and 12:00pm sign off of the radio station. Also in 1999 WFHC was approved to upgrade the transmitting power again, this time from 3,000 to 10,500 watts. After hard, dedicated work by our staff and very generous donations, 91-FIVE was able to purchase the new transmitter and signed on the air in May 2000 with a much stronger signal…a 10,500 watt signal reaching 11 counties in Southwest Tennessee and Northeast Mississippi.
In the Summer of 2000, Henderson lost their local radio station, WHHM, which, was bought out by a Media Group and moved their studios to Jackson, TN. WFHC became the only radio station serving Henderson and Chester County.
On July 7, 2005 WFHC changed call signs and officially became licensed as WFHU.
On February 16, 2009 WFHU changed its name from, “91-FIVE, The Lion” to “FM91” The format changed from Rock and Jazz to a mix of Adult Contemporary Hits from the 80’s, 90’s and Today!
In 2015, FM91 changed its name to 91.5 the Lion.
