WPKB (1230 AM) is a radio station licensed to Parkersburg, West Virginia, United States. It serves the Parkersburg-Marietta area with a Top 40/contemporary hit radio format. The station is currently owned by Seven Mountains Media.

History

From April 13, 1998, until March 2004, the station aired Radio Disney, a format targeted towards tweens and young teens.

On June 25, 2024, WVNT dropped their previous conservative talk format and began stunting with a loop of "Pop" by NSYNC; this led into a flip to contemporary hit radio as "Pop! Radio" on June 28 at 10 AM; this was predicated by Seven Mountains Media applying for new callsign WPKB for the station, and Seven Mountains operates a network of stations under that exact brand in each of their other markets, right down to running the exact same stunt before each and every launch. The station brands as "Pop! Radio 103.5" in reference to its translator at 103.5 FM.
