Licensed to Panama City Beach, Florida, USA, the station serves the Panama City area with a beautiful signal strong enough to reach all of Panama City and its boroughs including Lynn Haven, Callaway, Springfield, Parker, Southport, Westbay, and the entire beach. The station is currently owned by Evolution Broadcasting, LLC, whose sole managing member is Patrick Pfeffer.[1]

93.9 PLAY-FM plays Dance Music each day from 5am-6pm, and then an EDM (electronic dance music) selection from 6pm until 5am that reaches deep into the dance music genre, including House, Techno, Trance, Deep House, Breakbeats, Drum and Bass, Trap, and Trip-Hop. On the weekends the station also airs a number of syndicated shows including "Behind the Iron Curtain with Umek", "Aly & Fila's FSOE", "Global Dance Sessions with Bryan Cheetham", "The Vibe with DJ Tremble", "The Remix Top 30 with Hollywood Hamilton", and a number of weekly guest mixes.

History

The station was assigned the call letters WPCF on 1979-04-01. On 1994-06-06, the station changed its call sign to WDLP then on 2000-03-10 to the current WPCF.[2]

On January 6, 2014, WPCF dropped its Trop-Rock format for all Dance and Electronic music, becoming "93.9 PLAY-FM" under the operations of Patrick Pfeffer, owner of Club La Vela, a dance club in Panama City Beach that bills itself as "the largest nightclub in the USA".[3]
