WCWF-FM

WCWF-FM (102.1 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Kannapolis, North Carolina and broadcasts throughout the Charlotte area. The station is owned by Audacy, Inc and its studios are located at One Julian Price Place on West Morehead Street, just west of Uptown Charlotte, its transmitters are located at Crowders Mountain, 25 miles away from Downtown Charlotte.

As a satellite of WSOC-FM
On February 25, 1957, WSOC-FM would launch a satellite station known as WSOK based in Kannapolis, North Carolina. WSOC-FM was itself an FM simulcast of WSOC-AM (now WYFQ), and all three of these stations were owned by the local Carolina Broadcasting. They all carried the NBC Radio Network and had a middle of the road format. These stations would gain a television sister station named WSOC-TV. In 1959, WSOC-AM-FM-TV and WSOK were sold to Miami Valley Broadcasting Company (later known as Cox Broadcasting).

In 1971, WSOC-FM and WSOK would split from their simulcast of WSOC-AM and would switch to country music. At first, the format was completely automated. However, over time the two stations would gradually add more staff. The station's status as a satellite would slowly stop by 1983, when it was reassigned as a semi-satellite of WSOC-FM, having its own studios, local ads, as well as different live talent.

In 1992, Cox would put WSOC-AM-FM and WSOK up for sale, WSOC-FM and WSOK were bought by EZ Communications in exchange for the company selling WHQT to Cox Broadcasting.

As a seperate station
On August 30, 1996, EZ Communications would split WSOK's simulcast of WSOC-FM, and the station would run on its own. The station changed its call-letters to WPAK, and would be branded as "The WOLF Pack 102.1". It would also carry a classic country format. The first song to play on "The WOLF Pack 102.1" was "I Will Always Love You" by Dolly Parton.

In December 1996, EZ Communications would buy 4 stations from Evergreen Media (WBAV-FM, WBAV-AM, WNKS and WPEG). However due to this purchase, EZ Communications had 6 stations, which was over the limit at the time. EZ Communications would be bought by American Radio Systems in July 1997, and ARS would be acquired by Infinity Radio on September 19, 1997. As part of the acquisition, WPAK would be sold to Entercom, to resolve any ownership limits.

102.1 The Wolf
On April 3, 2006, the station would change its branding to "102.1 The Wolf", fitting in line with other Entercom country stations with "The Wolf" branding. The last song to play on "The WOLF Pack 102.1" was "Forever and Ever, Amen" by Randy Travis, while the first song to play on "102.1 The Wolf" was "Family Tradition" by Hank Williams Jr. On June 5, 2007, the station would change its call-letters to WCWF-FM. The WCWF call-letters are also used by CW affiliate WCWF (channel 14) in Green Bay, Wisconsin since 2011. As of now, WCWF-FM mostly plays country songs from 1990s to the mid 2000s, with some 80s songs in the mix.
