WMPA (93.1 FM) is a radio station operating on 93.1 MHz. It is licensed to Ferrysburg, Michigan.[2] It airs a Christian radio format, featuring Christian preaching, lessons, music and assorted educational programming.

History

[edit]

On May 25, 2018, WMPA changed their format from country to classic rock, branded as "Classic Rock 93.1". Programming included the "Classic Rock Cafe" weekdays from Noon to 1 and "In The Basement With Jesse Bruce" weekdays 3 to 7pm. WMPA also carried "Nights With Alice Cooper," "Flashback" and "In Concert.".[3] In March 2022, it was indicated that Strong Tower Radio would be providing the programming going forward; this transition finalized on June 10, 2022.[4]

On November 21, 2022, WMPA went silent due to it being evicted from its tower site by the city of Grand Haven.[5]
