WCDF (98.9 FM) is a radio station in Millersburg, Pennsylvania, snd serving the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, metropolitan area. However, under the correct conditions (antenna quality, surroundings, weather, etc.), the station can be received with a nearly static-free stereo signal as far south as York, PA (about 40 miles (64 km) south of the transmitter).[2] The station is owned by the Family Life Network, broadcasting Christian radio.
A noteworthy fact about this station is that it features an "oldies/classic hits" (predominantly 1970s music) show on Sunday mornings, which is becoming considerably rare for AC stations. From 8 AM-12 noon on Sundays, the station broadcasts Dick Bartley's syndicated program "The Classic Countdown".
History
[edit]The station was assigned the WQLV call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on December 13, 1991.[3]
On November 13, 2025, Richard L. Cooper (owner of Cooper Communications) agreed to sell WQLV to Family Life Ministries for $300,000.[4] The sale was completed on January 30, 2026.[5]
On February 11, 2026, WQLV changed its call sign to WCDF.[6]
