History

WLPA first went on the air in 1922, one of the earliest years of commercial radio broadcasting. The original call letters were WGAL. The station was once housed in the historic Jasper Yeates House.[1] It was owned by the Steinman family, which also owned two local newspapers, the Intelligencer Journal and the Lancaster New Era. In 1944 a sister FM station went on the air (still co-owned with WLPA with the WROZ callsign) and in 1949, the family added Pennsylvania's first television station outside Philadelphia. The TV station is now owned by The Hearst Corporation and still has the WGAL call sign.[2] For most of its history, WLPA was a full service radio station, airing Middle of the road music, news, talk and sports. It was a long-time affiliate of the NBC Radio Network.

In July 2005, WLPA changed to a Sports radio format, first affiliating with Fox Sports Radio. On August 1, 2013 WLPA became an affiliate of ESPN Radio. The station had attempted to affiliate with ESPN Radio for some years beforehand, but was unable to do so due to its geographic proximity to another ESPN affiliate, WGLD in Manchester Township. However, that station joined CBS Sports Radio in early 2013, making the ESPN affiliation available to WLPA.[3]

On April 1, 2015 WLPA changed its format from ESPN sports to Westwood One's America's Best Music adult standards format, returning to the music it once played decades ago.[4]

On April 4, 2016 WLPA changed its format back to sports, simulcasting the ESPN Radio programming of sister station WONN-FM. WLPA adopted that station's ESPN Radio 92.7 branding at that time.[5]
