WPER is a Christian adult contemporary formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Fredericksburg, Virginia, United States, serving Fredericksburg and Richmond. WPER is simulcast over a network of stations and translators across Virginia. WPER is owned and operated by Baker Family Stations.[4]
Call sign
[edit ]On February 13, 2018, Baker Family Stations swapped the long-time call sign for their Fredericksburg station, WJYJ, with the call sign for their Hickory, NC station, WPIR. A week later, Baker again swapped the now-WPIR's call sign with that of sister station WPER.
Translators
[edit ]In addition to its primary signal, WPER is relayed by six FM translators to widen its broadcast area across Virginia.
