- Owner:
- Free Radio Pensacola
- History:
- This station dates back
to an original construction permit granted in March 2024 for a new low
power FM station in Pensacola to 309 Punk Project. The original
grant had the antenna on a cell phone tower near the intersection of
North Davis Street and East Cervantes Street, east of downtown
Pensacola, with 41 watts on 107.7 MHz. The WPNX-LP call sign was
granted in September 2025.
In February 2026, the permit was amended to move the transmitter to
the top of the SCI Building at North Spring and West Garden Streets in
downtown Pensacola, with a change in power to 45 watts at 174 feet AGL
(Above Ground Level). In August 2026, the permit was assigned to
Free Radio Pensacola. The station was reported on air, testing
as of 23 September 2026, with plans to launch a wide ranging,
free-wheeling music format that showcases both local artists but also
what people in the community listen to.
