WPOW (96.5 FM) – branded Power 96 – is a commercial classic hip-hop radio station licensed to Miami, Florida.

An April 1975 use of fake newscasts to promote a contest and fraudulent billing issues led to the Federal Communications Commission refusing to renew WMJX's license, and the station ceased operations on February 15, 1981.

[3] In programming terms, the new station got attention in the marketplace with "The Super 16", a tight rotation of the 16 top hits that ran commercial-free for its early months on the air.

[5] On August 4, 1986, at 7 am, Beasley flipped the station to a dance-leaning CHR format under the name "Power 96, Miami's fresh new music mix", with a change in call letters to WPOW.

It played mostly dance, pop, freestyle, R&B, hip hop, and a dose of rock-centric type hits that became mass appeal enough to incorporate into the playlist.

[7] The station continued to report to Nielsen BDS' Rhythmic Chart until it was moved to the mainstream top 40/CHR panel[clarification needed] in June 2016.

[13] On May 23, 2024, at 5 pm, after playing "Creepin'" by Metro Boomin, The Weeknd and 21 Savage, WPOW dropped all remaining current music and shifted to a classic hip-hop format, while retaining the "Power 96" branding.
