History

The station was assigned the call sign WWIO by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on April 19, 2002.

The call sign was changed to WPAA on January 20, 2025, [3] ahead of a $30,000 sale to Neal Ardman's NIA Broadcasting. Ardman, through Radio Kings Bay, already owns WKBX in the area. [4]
