WOFM (89.1 MHz) is a non-commercial, non-profit Christian FM radio station in the Knoxville, Tennessee area owned by Educational Media Foundation.[2][3]

WYLV began in February 1993 broadcasting on 89.1 FM with programming from the Morning Star network. In September 1999, the station changed to a local format with onsite staff and DJs.

In 2016, WOFM had the 6th most social media activity in Knoxville. It was one of the radio stations which took up 6 out of 10 spots in the Knoxville social media rankings for that year, and made the most social media posts of those stations.[4]

On January 1, 2011, WOEZ became an affiliate of the Air 1 network after being sold to Educational Media Foundation. Later in January, the WYLV call letters were moved to the 88.3 frequency, as an affiliate of the K-LOVE network. At that time, Air1 moved to WOFM, which had been WYLV.
