History

The station signed on the air on March 21, 2016. [3]

WMFH-LP was started primarily because of Lowndes County's very low education level. [5] Station founder and CEO Christopher Howard said the station "can be an important tool or introducing people to the large body of quality English literature they might not otherwise experience, including timeless works from Aesop to Melville and from Shakespeare to Mark Twain." [5]

Howard also began a fundraising campaign using Indiegogo to raise funds for the station. The station's goal was $10,000 to purchase the station's equipment, which included studio gear, an Emergency Alert System encoder/decoder, transmitter, and a streaming hosting service. [6] [7] The first book read on the station was "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. [6]
