[4][5] The station was located in Zion, Illinois, and was owned by Wilbur Glenn Voliva, who was the "General Overseer" of the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church, and was known for his flat Earth beliefs.

[4][5][6] WCBD was non-commercial, airing religious programming that reflected Voliva's viewpoints, along with vocal and instrumental music.

[10][5] In 1934, WCBD's studios were moved to the Karcher Hotel in Waukegan, Illinois, and Gene T. Dyer was appointed station director.

[5][13][14] On April 2, 1937, the station's transmitter and the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church's Shiloh Tabernacle were destroyed in a fire set by a teenager who believed Voliva had swindled his father.

[15][5] Its transmitter site was relocated to Addison Township, in what today is part of Elmhurst, Illinois, and its studios were moved to 2400 W. Madison in Chicago.

[16] WCBD's frequency was changed to 1110 kHz in March 1941, as a result of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement.

[6] In 1947, the station began sharing time with a new WCBD, owned by the Christian Catholic Church in Zion, Illinois, which operated on Sundays only.

[6] In 1963, its studios were moved back to its transmitter site in Elmhurst, though its offices remained in the Steuben Club Building.

[35] Personalities heard on WAIT during this era included Ken Alexander, Dick Buckley, and John Doremus.

[59][60] Gary Parks hosted morning drive, while the rest of its programming was delivered by satellite from Transtar Radio Networks' "Format 41" service.

[64] On November 16, 1990, the station's call sign was changed to WPNT, and it briefly aired a hot AC format branded "The Point," simulcasting WPNT-FM.

[75][74][76] WSCR carried Illinois Fighting Illini basketball in the 1993–1994 season, but their status as a daytimer limited the number of games they could air.

[77][80] On November 10, 1994, WSCR was granted a construction permit to broadcast at night, running 1,200 watts from a site in Lemont, Illinois.

[82] Westinghouse decided against building the nighttime transmitter site in Lemont, and instead made plans to move "The Score" to 1160 AM.

[87][88][89] On April 7, 1997, it began airing a motivational talk format as "Personal Achievement Radio", and its call sign was changed to WYPA.

[85] Its programming was presented in short segments, less than ten minutes long, and included material culled from the libraries of self-help publishers featuring speakers such as Tony Robbins, as well as locally produced segments featuring Wayne Messmer and Mary Laney.

[109][110] Personalities heard on the station included Jay Mariotti,[111] Chet Coppock,[112][113] Phil Jackson,[114] and Bruce Murray.

[115] In April 2003, Starboard Broadcasting began leasing two hours of airtime a day to air the Relevant Radio Catholic network.

[132][133] In late October 2008, the station started simulcasting on 92.7 WCPT-FM in Arlington Heights, 92.5 WCPY in DeKalb, and 99.9 WCPQ in Park Forest.

[136] On April 29, 2010, WCPT began broadcasting 24 hours a day, although it reduces power to 1,500 watts after sunset so not to interfere with WBAP in Fort Worth.

[3][140] In 2018, WCPT-FM was sold to Educational Media Foundation and became an affiliate of K-Love, a Christian contemporary music network.
