In September 2005, WPEB filed a Suspension of Operations with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), "in order to resolve complaints of interference to other stations."
It has subsequently resumed operations and was purchased by a nonprofit organization with plans to operate it as a community radio station.
