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.
