WPER is a Contemporary Christian formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Fredericksburg, Virginia, serving Central Virginia and rebroadcasting sister station WPIR.[2] WPER is owned and operated by Baker Family Stations.[4]

Callsign

On February 13, 2018, Baker Family Stations swapped the long-time callsign for their Frederickburg station, WJYJ, with the callsign for their Hickory, NC station, WPIR. A week later, Baker again swapped the now-WPIR's call sign with that of sister station WPER.

Translator

In addition to the main station, WPER is relayed by five FM translators to widen its broadcast area.[5][6][7][8]
