WYPW-LP (90.1 FM) is a low-powered broadcast radio station licensed to Brandon, Florida, serving Tampa and Hillsborough County in Florida, broadcasting a Contemporary hit radio format. WYPW-LP is owned and operated by New Media Humanity Association, Inc.
History
[edit]WYPW-LP originally signed on January 23, 2015 in Brandon, Florida. The station was founded by a Florida-based non-profit organization New Media Humanity Association, Inc. [2]
The station initially signed in as "Power 100" as its initial branding on the 99.9 FM frequency during its first year of broadcasting as a low powered station. It was built from the ground up that included station operator Andy Kovacs, who then launched the station as a described "David vs Goliath" competitor to the massive corporate media conglomerates. Operating with a low-power budget without any sort of major billboard or advertising funds, WYPW-LP specifically targeted its Contemporary hit radio format to listeners living in Brandon and Eastern Hillsborough.[3]
In November 2016, engineers filed an emergency minor modification system with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to relocate the station down to a lower frequency, following major crowding issues that occurred earlier thought the year. By December, WYPW-LP later rebranded under its current branding as "Power 90.1" once the FCC granted the technical change from its original 99.9 FM frequency to its current 90.1 FM frequency. [4]
