WPCN (1010 AM) is a radio station broadcasting an oldies format. Licensed to Stevens Point, Wisconsin, USA, the station serves the Wausau-Stevens Point area. The station is currently owned by Richard L. Muzzy, through licensee Muzzy Broadcast Group, LLC, and features programing from ABC News.[2]
Programming heard on WPCN includes a local morning show called "Portage County Live". Former talk programming included the Glenn Beck Program, Neal Boortz, Scott Krueger (another local host), Clark Howard, and The Michael Savage Show. WPCN at one time was one of the only stations (perhaps the only station) to directly simulcast the Fox News cable television channel. All Fox News Channel simulcasts were dropped by 2010.
History
Original call letters were WTWT when it signed on in 1948, then WSPT, for many years broadcasting a Top-40 format. In late 1977, the station began airing a country music format as WXYQ, "10Q Country" dropping its simulcast with WSPT-FM. The station then became WSPO on 1988-05-30. On 1996-07-06, the station changed its call sign back to WSPT; on 2011-12-06, the station changed its call sign to the current WPCN.[3]
In March 2013, WPCN transitioned to a full-time news/talk format and dropped Cumulus Media's True Oldies Channel programming on nights and weekends.[4] The station now carries CBS Sports Radio programming on the weekends and talk shows at night. Previously, the station used Dial Global's America's Best Music and Citadel's Timeless Favorites.
On November 9, 2016 WPCN changed their format from news/talk to oldies, branded as "True Oldies".
