WPIR (89.9 FM) is a Contemporary Christian formatted broadcast radio station which is being simulcast by WPER.

WPIR is licensed to Culpeper, Virginia. WPIR serves Winchester Virginia and the Washington DC Metro area. WPIR is owned and operated by Baker Family Stations.

Combined 89.5/90.5 history

In January 2006, Positive Alternative Radio bought the old CSN-Virginia, a network of four full-power stations and almost two dozen translators, formerly broadcasting programming from local Calvary Chapel churches alongside KAWZ's Calvary Satellite Network. In the buyout, these stations were split between the then-WPER and WRXT in Lynchburg. WPER obtained WJYJ, based out of Fredericksburg, and seven of the translators, increasing its range of its new network all the way down to Richmond, Williamsburg, and even Buckingham County. Accordingly, WPER changed all promotional materials from "Positive Hits 89.9 WPER" to "Positive Hits 89.9 and the NEW 90.5."

WPER swapped call signs with sister station WPIR on February 20, 2018.
