Evans to the Greensville News-Piedmont Company. At the time, WFBC operated on 1200 &nbsp;kHz with 50 W power.<ref>{{cite news|title=Newspaper Buys|url=http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1932/1932-12-15-BC.pdf|accessdate=7 October 2014|agency=Broadcasting|date=December 15, 1932}}</ref> On January 8, 1935, the [[Federal Communications Commission]] approved increasing the station's power to 5 KW.<ref>{{cite news|title=Increases in Day Power Are Given Six Stations|url=http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1935/1935-01-15-BC.pdf|accessdate=17 October 2014|agency=Broadcasting|date=January 15, 1935}}</ref>
