WCIM (104.9 FM) is a Christian radio station as part of the Family Life Network. Licensed to Montour Falls, New York and broadcasting to the Elmira-Corning area, the station was acquired by Family Life Ministries in 2021.^[2]

History

In 2020, WNGZ moved to the 93.1 frequency (with the WNGZ calls parked on AM 1490 in Watkins Glen) and tweaked to a full blown active rock format using the moniker The New Rock Edge. On July 3, 2020, WNGZ changed its callsign to WPHD^[3] and flipped to classic hits as part of a five-station frequency swap.^[4]

In June 2021, WPHD changed its format from classic hits (which moved to WGMM 98.7 FM Corning) to Family Life Network's religious format under new WCIM calls.^[5]
