WPNS (1140 AM) is an American radio station broadcasting an adult standards format.
History
The station went on the air as WWOU on April 21, 1987. On December 15, 1988, the station changed its call sign to WBZR, and on November 1, 2003 to WNWF.[1]
Tri-City purchased the station in February 2016 and the license transfer was official in May; Tri-City Radio, LLC had been LMA'ing the station since November 2015. (Alabama Broadcast Media Page)
On November 29, 2013, WNWF was granted a U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) construction permit to move to 1140 kHz, increase day power to 3,000 watts, add critical hours operation with 2,400 watts and add night operation with 12 watts. A license to cover for their newly built facility was filed in December 2016, and was issued on December 19, 2017.
The station swapped call signs with Alabama-based radio station WPNS on December 21, 2018.
