WPLV (95.7 FM) is a non-commercial, listener-supported radio station licensed to Navarre, Florida, and serving the Pensacola metropolitan area.Owned by the Educational Media Foundation (EMF), it airs its national Christian contemporary music network, K-LOVE.
History
The station signed on in 2000 as WGCX with a locally programmed contemporary Christian format. While it was still a construction permit, the station had the call signs WAFN, WZEW, and WGCX-FM.[2]
In October 2013, 550 AM, Inc., sold WKFP to Educational Media Foundation for $1.75 million.[3] The sale was consummated on December 23, 2013, and shortly thereafter, it began carrying the national K-LOVE network.
The station changed its call sign on July 21, 2015, to the current WPLV to represent the words Pensacola and K-Love.
