WPKB (1230 AM) is a radio station that is currently stunting. Licensed to Parkersburg, West Virginia, United States, it serves the Parkersburg-Marietta area. The station is currently owned by Seven Mountains Media.

History[edit]

Logo under conservative talk format, used until 2024.

From April 13, 1998, until March 2004, the station aired Radio Disney, a format targeted towards tweens and young teens.

On June 25, 2024, WVNT dropped their previous conservative talk format and began stunting with a loop of "Pop" by NSYNC; this will lead into a flip to contemporary hit radio as "Pop! Radio" on June 28 at 10 AM; this was predicated by Seven Mountains Media applying for new callsign WPKB for the station, and Seven Mountains operates a network of stations under that exact brand in each of their other markets, right down to running the exact same stunt before each and every launch.[2]
