Format change

On September 1, 2016, the Classic Country format was dropped in favor of Adult Contemporary and the station's FM translator frequency switched from 103.7 FM to 105.9 FM.^[6] The Classic Country format was intended to continue as an online-only station.^[6] A year after the station switched to its Adult Contemporary format as "105.9 More FM", it flipped back to Classic Country and brought back the "Country Legends" branding as well.^[7]

Translator

In addition to the main station, WMPW is relayed by an FM translator to widen its broadcast area.^[8]
