WPAZ (1370 AM) was a radio station broadcasting an Oldies format. Licensed to Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA, it served the Philadelphia area. The station, which signed on in 1951, was owned by Great Scott Broadcasting and featured programing from Citadel Media.
WPAZ closed down on December 10, 2009, with Great Scott citing a focus on its other, more-profitable stations.[1]
On August 12, 2010, the WPAZ Preservation Association (an organization formed by Pottstown area citizenry interested in purchasing the station, maintaining local ownership, and instituting a format beneficial to the area) announced that an agreement of purchase would be completed (by them) with Great Scott Broadcasting on or about August 31, 2010[2]. On September 6, 2010, the WPAZPA announced through their Facebook page that the station was once again on the air, although no transfer of licensure is noted within the FCC database.[3]
