Licensed by the FCC in 2011, WXPI is affiliated with the Pacifica Radio network, while its local programming is staffed entirely by volunteers.[3][1] The station is owned by Williamsport Independent Media, Inc., which publishes the Williamsport Guardian, the region's alternative newspaper.[3]
In 2025, Williamsport Independent Media sold the license for the original WXPI to Family Life Ministries, owner of the Family Life Network, for $20,000. This allowed it to build and operate a construction permit for a new low-power FM radio station in Williamsport.[4] After the purchase, Family Life immediately shut the facility down so that it could apply to upgrade Family Life transmitter WCOB at State College.[5]
