History

Prior to June 27, 1986, this station was WKLX.[1]

At one time, WPNC-FM was 96 Country, while co-owned WPNC-AM was Contemporary Christian.[3]

In 1996 it became Magic 96. In April 2001, with a move to a new building, WPNC-FM became Magic 95.9, because so many vehicle radios display the exact frequency.[4]
