History
WBPC first went on air in 2005 as B·95, which primarily aired a classic hits format. In 2009, WBPC was purchased by Beach Radio, Inc., from Bay Broadcasting, and its branding was changed to Beach 95.1. Concurrent with the sale, veteran Panama City radio personalities Lisa Lynnette and David Nolin (now the station's operations manager and program director) joined the station for midday and afternoon drive, respectively, joining longtime personality Jim Dooley, the morning drive host. Tom Kent hosts the nighttime show on Beach 95.1. Lynnette left the station in March 2013, and Tori Shay took her place as midday host at that time. Dooley left in August 2015 and was replaced in morning drive by Wayne Gentry, also recognized as a local television meteorologist. Steve Kent and Jackie Newton host overnight and weekend programs.
