WPPP-LP
Station history
A group led by Xavier Elkins applied for a broadcast license after the Federal Communications Commission opened a filing window for LPFM licenses in 2000. The station went on the air in August 2004. Known for a wildly varying assortment of music, the station was cited by the Athens Banner-Herald as "the only radio station in the area that will play Pat Benatar right after a Drive-By Truckers song following a jazz lick - and all without commercial interruption." Elkins and co-host Jon Bird host a talk show called "The Daily Hangover Chronicles."
Community affiliation
WPPP-LP is an affiliate of Common Ground Athens, a resource center offering meeting space, training programs, and management support to Athens community organizations.
