WGPA (1100 kHz) is a Class D daytimer radio station, licensed to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, serving the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania. The station is owned by CC Broadcasting, LLC, and airs a radio format called Ameripolitan, including rockabilly, 1950s and 1960s oldies, classic country, and polka music.[2] World and national news is supplied by SRN News. WGPA's radio studios and offices are at 2311 Easton Avenue in Bethlehem.
Because AM 1100 is a clear channel frequency, WGPA must sign off at night to protect WTAM in Cleveland, the Class A station on 1100 kHz. (Radio waves travel farther at night.) The transmitter is at 1080 Win Drive.[3] WGPA is heard around the clock on 250-watt FM translator W253CE at 98.5 MHz.[4]
