History
The call sign WFLN was originally assigned in 1949 to a Philadelphia FM radio station located at 95.7 MHz.[2] In 1956, WFLN (900 kHz) was started as a simulcast of the FM programming. WFLN was sold in 1985 and became WDVT. WFLN-FM continued operations until 1997 when it was sold, changed format and was renamed WXXM. Today, this station is identified by the call sign WBEN-FM. The Philadelphia WFLN was primarily a classical music station.
In May 2020 WFLN changed their format from news/talk to classic country, branded as "Classic Country 104.5", under new WCXS calls.[3]
