WFCV (1090 AM) is a radio station located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States. It is one of a network of stations owned and operated by the Bott Broadcasting Company.

WFCV broadcasts a Christian radio format as a member of the Bott Radio Network. The station was assigned the WFCV call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on May 2, 1980.

The station debuted in 1968 as WFWR with a middle of the road music format, which was changed in 1971 to become the market's first country music station. Following a sale in 1976, the country format was changed to easy listening music, which continued until 1980, when Bott Broadcasting purchased WFWR and changed the calls to WFCV.
