WPEL (800 kHz) is a non-commercial AM radio station licensed to Montrose, Pennsylvania. It is owned by Montrose Broadcasting, and airs a Christian radio format, mixing Southern Gospel music with Christian talk and teaching programs. The station holds periodic fundraisers on the air to support the ministry. The studios are on High Street in Montrose.
By day, WPEL is powered at 1,000 watts. But because 800 AM is a clear-channel frequency, on which XEROK Ciudad Juarez is the dominant Class A station, WPEL must reduce power at night to 135 watts to avoid interference. Programming is also heard on FM translator W238CM at 95.5 MHz in Endicott, New York.
