WYPM is an American public radio formatted broadcast radio station affiliated with National Public Radio. WYPM is licensed to Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, serving the Chambersburg/Greencastle area. WYPM is owned and operated by WITF, Inc.
[edit] History
WYPM was previously WROG which was located in Cumberland, Maryland, broadcasting on 102.9 FM. The station had broadcast from the Cumberland area since 1978 with a Country format. In October 2007, Broadcast Communications, Inc. filed in application to move WROG from Cumberland to Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.
On July 31, 2008, WROG broadcast from their Cumberland studios for the final time. WROG fell silent and the owners of WROG began removing equipment ahead of the station's move to Chambersburg.
On September 15, 2008, Broadcast Communications sold WROG to WITF, Inc., for $875,000. WITF, Inc. owns Harrisburg, Pennsylvania-based public broadcasters WITF-FM and WITF-TV.
On January 15, 2009, WROG switched its call sign to WYPM and moved to 93.3 FM and began broadcasting its Public Radio format as WITF, Inc. took over ownership of the station.
On July 1, 2011, WYPM changed its format and schedule to become a simulcast of WITF-FM (89.5 FM in Harrisburg and 99.9 FM in Lancaster). This schedule change means that WYPM now broadcasts classical music in addition to public talk radio programming. The move was undertaken to "simplify operations and reduce costs." [1]
