WPNC-FM (95.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting an Adult Contemporary format. Licensed to Plymouth, North Carolina, USA, it serves the Elizabeth City-Nags Head area. The station is currently licensed to Durlyn Broadcasting, which is 100% owned by William B. Cox III of Plymouth, NC.[2]

History

Prior to June 27, 1986, this station was WKLX.[1]

At one time, WPNC-FM was 96 Country, while co-owned WPNC was Contemporary Christian.[3]

In 1996 it became Magic 96. In April 2001, with a move to a new building, WPNC-FM became Magic 95.9, because so many vehicle radios display the exact frequency.[4]
