WMPW is a Classic Country formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Danville, Virginia in the United States, serving Danville and Southern Pittsylvania County in Virginia and Northern Caswell County in North Carolina.[1] WMPW is owned and operated by Lakes Media, LLC.[4]
Format change
On September 1, 2016, the Classic Country format was dropped in favor of Adult Contemporary and the station's FM translator frequency switched from 103.7 FM to 105.9 FM.[5] The Classic Country format was intended to continue as an online-only station.[5] A year after the station switched to its Adult Contemporary format as "105.9 More FM", it flipped back to Classic Country and brought back the "Country Legends" branding as well.[6]
Translator
In addition to the main station, WMPW is relayed by an FM translator to widen its broadcast area.[7]
