WPIA

WPIA (98.5 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Eureka, Illinois, and serving the Peoria metropolitan area.

WPIA and WHPI carry two nationally syndicated shows from Premiere Networks: Elvis Duran and the Morning Show from WHTZ New York City and American Top 40 with Ryan Seacrest on weekends, along with Liveline hosted live by Mason Kelter from his house in Boston every weeknight.

[5] After 93.3 became WPBG ("Big Oldies 93.3"), putting it in direct competition with WEEK-FM, 98.5's ratings slid and Granite sold the radio station.

[9] In March 2004, the simulcast with WPPY was broken, as WRVP's call letters were changed to WPIA and flipped to Christian rock as "Hope 98.5".

[10] In September 2006, then-owners Regent Communications (who were also the owner of rival WZPW until its sale to Cumulus Media in 2012) sold the station and 101.1 FM (then WVEL-FM) to Independence Media Holdings, who also bought 96.5 WHPI (then WWCT) from another company and returned the Top 40/CHR format to 98.5, but this time adding a simulcast with the latter frequency to form "96.5 & 98.5 KISS FM".
