History [link]

WVPO began operation as WHAB-AM in 1947. A year later, the station changed its call letters to WVPO-AM. The station offered a blend of local news and popular music. In the 1960s, the station employed a middle of the road (MOR) format playing mostly pop standards. In the early 1980s, WVPO evolved into an adult contemporary format. Their local owners were known as Keystone Broadcasters.

In 1994, WVPO and WSBG were sold to Nassau Broadcasting Partners. The format remained adult contemporary until 1997. That year, the station switched to an adult standards format playing the easy listening hits of the 1950s and 1960s, along with some softer oldies of the 1960s and 1970s and some contemporary artists doing pop standards.

In 1998, WVPO and WSBG were sold to Multicultural Broadcasting, but continued to be managed by Nassau.

In 2002, Nassau acquired full ownership of WVPO and WSBG. In the Summer of 2003, WVPO dropped the MOR Adult Standards format in favor of an oldies format. During this time, WVPO aired a sports programming including: NY Jets and NY Giants NFL football, NY Yankees Baseball, and has been the home of ESU Warrior (East Stroudsburg University) college football for over 40 years.

In December 2006, Nassau ended local programming on WVPO/WPLY and began to simulcast co-owned FM station WWYY, after a planned sale[1] fell through. The final breath of live air staff at WVPO in December 2006 consisted of Peter Ward weekday mornings, Rod Bauman weekday mid-days, and Linda Murphy weekday afternoons with other various weekend and fill-in staff.

In the last week of January 2007, WVPO and WPLY changed to a format of syndicated talk programs, after firing their staff only weeks before Christmas, with no advance warning. The new lineup features Imus in the Morning along with various political and financial talk programs. NY Yankees baseball will continue to be aired, along with locally produced ESU Warrior Football.

As of the 2008 baseball season, New York Yankees baseball is no longer being aired on WVPO, and 2011 was the first year the station failed to air local high school football game broadcasts.
