WCHP (760 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Christian radio format branded as WCHP 760 AM. Licensed to Champlain, New York, United States, the station directs its daytime signal into nearby Montreal, Quebec, Canada, effectively being a border blaster. At night, the station broadcasts at a considerably lower power, to protect WJR in Detroit. The station is owned by Champlain Radio, Inc.[2]
