"Columbia's Inspiration Station"

WFMV, known as "Gospel 95.3", is a full-time urban contemporary gospel station simulcast located in the Midlands region of South Carolina. WFMV is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to South Congaree, a small village located near Columbia to broadcast on 95.3 FM. WFMV broadcasts with 6 kW. of power. Its studios are located just east of downtown Columbia and the transmitter is in Red Bank.

WFMV offers mostly contemporary gospel music with some classics, from artists such as CeCe Winans, Smokie Norful, Mary Mary, Shirley Caesar, John P. Kee, The Georgia Mass Choir, and Kirk Franklin.

Informational programming includes "The Morning Inspirations", "Wellness Watch", "Real Power" (for voters), "Kid's Korner" and "Watchdog" (for consumers). On weekends, "I-95" covers community issues.

WFMV is part of the Glory Radio Network along with WTUA, WLJI, WPDT and WSPX.

WFMV is relayed by an additional translator to widen its broadcast area.

In early 1991, WKWQ (now known as WZMJ) changed frequencies from 95.3 to 93.1, leaving the 95.3 frequency open. The frequency was reallocated to South Congaree by the FCC and after 2 years, the license was awarded to Glory Communications, a group led by former WWDM sales manager/media specialist Alex Snipe. WFMV signed on the air October 29, 1993 with its present format. The call letters, WFMV, had been previously assigned to an FM radio station in Blairstown, New Jersey.
