WPAZ (1370 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a talk/music format. Licensed to Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA, it served the Philadelphia area. The station, which signed on in 1951, was originally owned by the Scott Family, and later, their subsidiary, Great Scott Broadcasting, Inc.
WPAZ ceased operations on December 10, 2009, with Great Scott citing a focus on its other, more-profitable stations.[2][3]
Resumption of operations
In early 2010, a group of Pottstown area residents calling themselves the WPAZ Preservation Association (WPAZPA) began efforts to acquire WPAZ from Great Scott Broadcasting. The effort concluded with the group's announcing acquisition of the station in late October, 2010. Resumption of station operations under the auspices of the WPAZPA with assistance from Four Rivers Broadcasting, Inc., took place at sunrise on 30 December 2010. [4]
