History

WOCN-FM is frequently one of the Cape's most listened to radio stations, especially among adults 45 and older. Upon the acquisition of Charles River Broadcasting's Cape Cod assets, it was announced that the popular "Ocean 104" would relocate to the stronger Class B signal of 104.7 MHz, swapping frequencies with WKPE-FM. The swap occurred on April 17, 2007.

The current on-air line up includes heritage radio host Dave Read (Mornings), Donna Credit (Mid-days), and Troy Smith (afternoons). Artists that are played on WKPE-FM include the Beatles, Carly Simon, James Taylor, Norah Jones, Fleetwood Mac and others. WKPE-FM continues to serve the Cape Cod community with hourly weather forecasts, news updates and community information.Although previously playing more soft AC, it has shifted to play more current songs (eg. Mariah Carey, Sara Barelles, The Band Perry, Sheryl Crow, Cher)
