History

After applying in October 2007 and overcoming an engineering objection by the American Family Association in July 2008, Praise Communications was granted the original construction permit for this station on December 16, 2009.^[3] This construction permit is scheduled to expire on December 16, 2012.^[3]

Initially granted the call sign WKYF on January 21, 2010, the permit holder applied to the FCC for a change and the station was assigned new call sign WPRZ-FM by the Federal Communications Commission on March 1, 2010.^[1]

The station began regular broadcast operations on May 28, 2010.^[5]
