WPOC
WPOC (93.1 MHz) is a commercial radio station in Baltimore, Maryland. It airs a country music format and is owned by iHeartMedia. The radio studios and offices are 1 W Pennsylvania Ave Suite 200 Towson, MD 21204
The transmitter, with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 16,000 watts, is off North Rolling Road in Catonsville, Maryland. It has a height above average terrain (HAAT) of 264 meters (886 feet), providing WPOC with a wide coverage area from Washington, D.C. to the Maryland-Pennsylvania state line, and from Annapolis to Frederick. It broadcasts using HD Radio technology. Its HD2 digital subchannel carries iHeartRadio's "TikTok Radio" service.
On February 4, 1960, the station signed on as WFMM-FM. It was owned by the Commercial Radio Institute (which eventually evolved into Sinclair Broadcast Group) with studios at 44 West Biddle Street. It was a rare stand-alone FM station, not associated with an AM station or a newspaper.
In 1974, the station was acquired by Nationwide Communications, a division of Nationwide Insurance. Nationwide decided to put a country music format on 93.1 on September 2 of that year. The call sign was switched from WFMM-FM to WPOC, standing for "Pride of the Chesaspeake", because the station covers much of Chesapeake Bay. The station affiliated with the ABC Directions Network for national news.
In 1999, the station was acquired by Clear Channel Communications, which maintained the country music format. Clear Channel later became iHeartMedia, the current owner. Until at 2022 the studios were on the second floor of The Rotunda Shopping Center, on West 40th Street, in Baltimore.
WPOC is one of the format’s most consistently successful stations according to Country Aircheck. The station had seen "49 total No. 1 books and an unparalleled 104 years worth of combined tenure among its airstaff" as of 2024.
The station's on-air line up as of January 2026 consists of Michael J. (since 2000) in morning drive, Bob Delmont (since 1999) handles middays. Since November 2025 Ty Bailey voice tracks afternoon drive sister station WMZQ.
Premiere Networks' syndicated The Bobby Bones Show is carried in the evening and Granger Smith's syndicated show is heard overnight.
