WPPA 105.9 FM

A full-service radio station with roots in AM broadcasting, licensed to Pottsville, Pennsylvania, and owned by Pottsville Broadcasting Company. The AM component at 1360 kHz has been in continuous operation since its debut on May 9, 1946, making it one of the longer-tenured broadcaster-owned stations in the region. It is branded as "Your News and Sports Leader" and carries programming from CBS News Radio, CBS Sports Radio, and Premiere Networks. The station's signal is extended via an FM translator at 105.9 MHz (W290DP), allowing it to reach listeners who prefer the clearer audio quality of FM reception. This dual-platform approach ensures coverage across Schuylkill County and surrounding areas of eastern Pennsylvania's coal region. As an independently owned, community-based broadcaster that has remained under local ownership for nearly eight decades, WPPA represents an uncommon continuity in American radio. Its full-service format combines news, sports, and network-supplied content to serve the informational needs of the greater Pottsville listening area.
