The station is owned by CC Broadcasting, LLC, and airs a radio format called Ameripolitan, including rockabilly, 1950s and 1960s oldies, classic country, and polka music.

Because AM 1100 is a clear channel frequency, WGPA must sign off at night to protect WTAM in Cleveland, the Class A station on 1100 kHz.

[4] WGPA was originally a part of the Bethlehem Globe Publishing Authority, from which the call sign was derived.

The FCC license stated ownership as A-B-E Broadcasting, a division of the Bethlehem Globe Times Newspapers, signifying Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton as the coverage area.

The original musical lineup primarily consisted of big bands featuring artists such as Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, and Doris Day.

In the early 1950s, Bob Wolken, a recent graduate of Liberty High School, started at the station performing odd jobs.

By the 1960s, the FM station's daytime programming was featuring beautiful music, including Mantovani, Ferrante & Teicher, Ray Conniff, and Henry Mancini.

Other programs include Parenting Matters with Francine Bianco Tax, Kisslinger & Company, hosted by Larry Kisslinger and sponsored by Service Electric, and sports talk show Jack, Joe & Company, with co-hosts Jack Logic and Joe Craig.

In March 2015, due to his declining health, Timmer's family sold the station to CC Broadcasting, LLC for $95,000.

The FCC issued a construction permit for low-power FM translator W256BQ, which was purchased by CC Broadcasting LLC from a station in Olean, New York, at a reported $75,000.

Plans were for the translator to operate on 93.3 FM with a power of 250 watts and would be mounted on the existing AM tower with a directional signal toward the center of Bethlehem.
