History
Founded by Rev. Russ Bixler, WPCB went on the air on Easter Sunday, 1979. Easter ( Greek: Πάσχα Pascha or Pasxa) is the most important religious feast in the Christian Liturgical year. Year 1979 ( MCMLXXIX) was a Common year starting on Monday (link displays the 1979 Gregorian calendar) The station has always aired only religious programs. It almost moved to channel 16, which is occupied by WQEX, with Paxson Communications buying channel 40 and converting it to a Pax TV affiliate. WQEX is a television station in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. It broadcasts its analog signal on UHF channel 16 and its digital signal on UHF channel 26 ION Media Networks (formerly known as Paxson Communications) is an American Television Broadcasting company that owns and operates over 60 television Ion Television is a broadcast television network first broadcast on August 31 1998 However, the religious shows proposed for air on the station were not deemed educational, breaching a requirement in WQEX's license as an educational station. Although the FCC reversed its position, Cornerstone withdrew its application and the sale was cancelled, keeping WPCB on channel 40. [1]
As such, WPCB remains a commercial licensee without commercials and continues to run Christian programming 24/7, including sermons, music and children's programming, crusades, magazine shows, talk, and variety shows.
