WPGS (840 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Mims, Florida, serving the Space Coast including parts of Brevard County and Volusia County. The station broadcasts a Spanish Contemporary Christian format and is owned by WPGS, Inc.[2]
WPGS is a daytimer. During daylight hours, it transmits 1,000 watts, non-directional. Because 840 AM is a United States clear-channel frequency, on which WHAS Louisville, Kentucky is the dominant Class A station, WPGS must sign off between sunset and sunrise to avoid interference with the nighttime skywave signal of WHAS.
