WCPA (AM)

Though it had always broadcast at its current frequency, this station would not be granted nighttime power authorization until 1990, when it undertook a major engineering project.

Wishing to expand their reach into other markets, Progressive also purchased WDAD in Indiana, Pennsylvania, in 1958, and WMAJ in State College at around the same time.

In the mid-1960s, the FCC approved a round of low-powered Class A FM drop-in channels to spur growth on that band among AM broadcasters who were reluctant to take the financial risk involved with the unpopular technology.

On May 1, 2010, WCPA/WQYX held a "yard sale" to liquidate its 30-year collection of 45s and albums, as well as electronics, office supplies, etc., in preparation for the demolition of the building.

Effective January 3, 2017, First Media sold WCPA, WOWQ, WQYX, WZDB, and WZDD to Southern Belle, LLC for $4.5 million.
