WPQP (93.1 FM, "Pop 92.7-93.1-95.9") is a radio station licensed to Clearfield, Pennsylvania. Owned by Seven Mountains Media, it broadcasts a Top 40 format. The station is also simulcast with WCCR-FM (92.7) in Clarion and WQQP (95.9 FM) in Sykesville.
Throughout the 1980s, WQYX was an affiliate of Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 and Retro Pop Reunion.
In October 2016, First Media reached a deal to sell its remaining stations in West Central Pennsylvania to Seven Mountains Media for $4.5 million. At this point, WQYX was broadcasting a hot adult contemporary format branded as 93.1 WQYX. [2] [3] In August 2017, the station changed its call letters to WPQP, and announced that it would flip to contemporary hit radio as Pop 93.1 on August 29. [4]
On March 19, 2018, sister station WZDB switched from rock to a simulcast of WPQP, changing its call sign to WQQP on March 23, 2018. [5] On June 29, 2023, sister station WCCR-FM became an additional simulcast, expanding WPQP/WQQP's reach to Clarion County. [6]
