WPHB is a commercially licensed AM radio station, serving Philipsburg, Pennsylvania in Centre County. WPHB is licensed to 1260 kHz and operates at a daytime power of 5,000 watts and a nighttime power of 34 watts. The station is owned by Magnum Broadcasting and has a format of talk and classic country.

Beginnings [link]

WPHB first went on the air June 1, 1956. The station was founded by Reverend William Emert, and for much of its early history, broadcast a religion-based format.

WPHB was acquired on July 16, 1982 by Moshannon Valley Broadcasting, Inc., a company owned by brothers C. Dean and Sheldon Sharpless. Dean acted as the station's general manager, news director and engineer, while Sheldon served as promotions director, general sales manager and program director. Sheldon Sharpless had already been a part of WPHB's staff for twenty years prior to the purchase. During this period WPHB offered religion-based programming in addition to country music.

WPHB experienced its biggest growth while under ownership of the Sharpless brothers: seven years after the acquisition of WPHB, an FM station was put on the air taking the WPHB-FM call letters and assigned to the 105.9 MHz frequency at a power of 3,000 watts. (The FM station is now WQCK.) Originally, the AM and FM stations simulcasted for about half of the broadcast day. For the remainder of the day, the AM carried religious and gospel-themed programming while the FM was music-intensive. In later years, after being sold to Magnum Broadcasting, the FM concentrated on State College as "105.9 The Buzz", WUBZ, an alternative Rock station.

WPHB(AM) continued to serve the Philipsburg area playing classic country music, with Sheldon Sharpless gracing the air waves along with Jerry Pollock, who has been on the air for over 30 years.

As of September 2009, WPHB played a mix of Country and Americana music. In the morning, Jerry Pollock played the classic country sound that WPHB has been known for over the years. With the departure of Sheldon Sharpless in the early Summer of 2010, Jerry and Mase Daniels now share the airwaves daily playing Classic Country and Americana for Centre County and the surrounding areas.

After a massive outcry of listeners and advertisers, Sheldon Sharpless was returned to the morning airwaves.  Jerry Pollock was a so-so broadcaster.  The Station manager was re-assigned at a Southern Station.  Advertisers and loyal listeners have all returned
