WPFB (910 AM) is a radio station broadcasting an adult album alternative format. It is licensed to Middletown, Ohio, USA, and serves the Dayton area. The station is owned by Northern Kentucky University and is currently simulcasting WNKU 89.7 FM.[2][3] In April 2016, WPFB was sold to Sacred Heart Radio, a religious talk radio station based in Norwood, OH. On June 3rd, 2016 WPFB will begin simulcasting WNOP (AM) along side WHSS. [4]
History
WPFB first signed on in 1947 as a daytime-only station but a few months later received permission from the Federal Communications Commission to also broadcast in the evening. Throughout much of its history, WPFB had several format switches from middle of the road, country music, adult standards to talk radio and classic country. The station, along with co-owned WPFB-FM and WPAY-FM in Portsmouth, Ohio, was purchased in January 2011 by Northern Kentucky University (NKU), the owners of WNKU. WPFB-FM, whose call letters have been changed to WNKN, currently serves as a repeater station of WNKU and NKU has indicated that they intend to sell WPFB to help fund the purchase of the two FM stations.[5] In April 2016, Sacred Heart Radio, a religious talk radio station in Norwood, OH affiliated with EWTN, announced that they had acquired WPFB from NKU. WPFB will begin simulcasting WNOP (AM) and WHSS on June 3rd, 2016.[4]
