The LifeFM (WHQA/Honea Path, SC) is celebrating a decade of broadcasting in the Upstate of South Carolina with a special event, “10 Years of Life,” this Friday, March 22, at 6:00 PM at Rock Springs Baptist Church in Easley.
Since signing on the air on March 1, 2015, The LifeFM radio network has experienced tremendous growth, with WHQA serving as the flagship station for the region. The network was founded by World War II veteran Bob McClure on his 86th birthday, built on a passion for sharing Southern Gospel music. Though Bob passed away in 2021, his vision continues to inspire and guide the ministry.
The LifeFM is also home to “The Family and Friends Morning Show,” the only Southern Gospel morning show hosted by a father-daughter duo (Rodney & Reagan Baucom). To mark this milestone, The LifeFM is hosting a special anniversary concert featuring Grand Ole Opry members The Isaacs, alongside Joseph Habedank, The Perrys, and Southbound. This event is free to attend, with a love offering to be received in support of The LifeFM ministry.
