WPSK-FM (107.1 MHz) is a country formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Pulaski, Virginia, serving the New River Valley. WPSK-FM is owned and operated by Monticello Media.[2] Its programming is simulcast on WVXL (100.7 FM) in Christiansburg.

History

[edit]

On September 6, 2018, Cumulus Media announced it would sell its Blacksburg cluster to Monticello Media.[3] The sale was approved December 1, 2018.[4] WPSK-FM, which had been rebranded under Cumulus' Nash FM brand on February 5, 2014,[5] reverted to its original branding as "107.1 PSK" in 2019, shortly after the sale to Monticello Media. On June 3, 2024, the station rebranded as "WPSK XL", to reflect its new simulcast on WVXL (100.7 FM).[6]
