KWPN

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

KWPN (107.9 FM) is a hometown radio station located in West Point, Nebraska. It is currently operating under the adult contemporary music format. Its most attractive feature to local listeners is its extensive coverage of area high school sports.

KWPN has been a part of the Nebraska Rural Radio Association since 1997 when it was purchased from founders David and Sharon Kelley. There are daily market updates, as well as other agricultural news. The station is an ABC affiliate, and features regular news programming from ABC, as well as carrying the full slate of Paul Harvey News segments and "The Rest of the Story".

The morning show, hosted by Richard Sterling, provides news, weather, and sports information for the commute in Northeast Nebraska. After the morning show comes Middays with Craig Larson (10a-2p) who also serves as the station's manager. It features music, news, weather, and agricultural information.

Afternoons (2p-7p) finds David Gustaffson, a recent hire to fill a vacancy in the news department. David was an intern at KWPN in his early radio career, and has returned to his hometown to take workers through the afternoon.

Evenings (7p-12a) sees Ryan Guill pulling the late shift playing more great music all through the evening...when there aren't sporting events being broadcast by sports direcor Tom McMahon.
