WPEB is a variety formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Due to WPEB's low wattage, the station only serves West Philadelphia and the University City Neighborhood. WPEB is owned and operated by Scribe Video Center, Inc.

History

WPEB began in 1981 in studios located in the basement of Calvary Church on 48th Street at Baltimore Avenue.

In September 2005, WPEB filed a Suspension of Operations with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), "in order to resolve complaints of interference to other stations."

In early 2008, Philadelphia saw the rebirth of WPEB 88.1 FM. In its first stage, the new WPEB is being stewarded by Scribe Video Center. Partnering with Scribe are two West Philadelphia-based organizations in particular, the Philadelphia Independent Media Center (Philly IMC) and the Prometheus Radio Project, and a growing variety of community and cultural groups. WPEB provides a much needed local media outlet to serve as a voice for West Philadelphia’s many communities. The station provides a forum for community-based organizations and be a place to discuss the issues that affect the communities, play music not heard on mainstream media, and promote education and creative substantive expression.

The website wpeb.org, despite its name, has nothing to do with the station. It is an advertising site, with links to assorted websites about radio and music.[1]
