WFFN (95.3 FM, "95.3 The Bear") is a radio station licensed to serve Coaling, Alabama, USA, and broadcasting to the Tuscaloosa, Alabama, area. The station is owned by Citadel Broadcasting. It broadcasts a country music format.[3][1]
The station was assigned the WFFN call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on April 15, 1987.[2] The station changed its city of license from Cordova, Alabama, to Coaling, Alabama, in late 2005.[4]
In June 2004, New Century Radio (Vachel L. Posey Jr., president) reached an agreement to transfer WFFN to Apex Broadcasting Inc. (Houston L.

In February 2005, Apex Broadcasting Inc. (Houston L.
