History
The station went on the air in 1953, as WKOV at 1570 kilohertz. The station moved to 1330 kHz by 1958. An FM station, WKOV-FM, was added in 1971. WKOV-AM featured a full-service adult contemporary/MOR format until 1991, when the call letters changed to WYPC-AM, and the station switched to country music, with the AC format moving to WKOV-FM (which had programmed beautiful music). WYPC-AM adopted an adult standards music format in the mid-1990s. WYPC-AM changed its format from Adult Standards to Sports Talk in August 2012.[3]
