WPAA (1190 AM) is a classic country station licensed to serve St. Marys, Georgia, United States. The station is owned by Blueberry Broadcasting Corporation, which also owns WAJQ-FM and WAWO in Alma, Georgia. It broadcasts a classic country format with songs from the 1970s-early 2000s.

History

[edit]

The station was assigned the call sign WWIO by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on April 19, 2002.

The call sign was changed to WPAA on January 20, 2025,[3] ahead of a $30,000 sale to Neal Ardman's NIA Broadcasting. Ardman, through Radio Kings Bay, already owns WKBX in the area.[4]
