WKPE-FM is locally owned by "Cape Cod Broadcasting" (also known as Sandab Communications).

The station signed on on April 5, 1991, under the callsign WVCU, which changed to WATB that June.

On the tenth day of the stunt program (October 4, 2007), the songs began disappearing from the rotation.

The list of songs played during the stunt were: "American Pie" by Don McLean, "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone" by Ella Fitzgerald, "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse, "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch" by Thurl Ravenscroft (the voice of Tony the Tiger), "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, "Wide Open Spaces" by The Dixie Chicks, "Dirty Water" by The Standells, "Gone Country" by Alan Jackson, and "SexyBack" by Justin Timberlake.

The format initially changed from classic rock to hot AC; however, by the end of 2007, it had evolved into CHR as more mainstream tracks were added.
