WNPL (1460 AM) was a radio station simulcasting WAXA, broadcasting out of Ft. Myers, Florida. Licensed to Golden Gate, Florida, it served Collier County (including Naples). The station was last owned by Fort Myers Broadcasting Company.

History

[edit | edit source]

WNPL signed on in 2009 to improve coverage for WPTK (which at the time was affiliated with Fox Sports Radio) in the southern end of the market.[1]

On January 22, 2018, WNPL rebranded as "Maxima 97.3/95.7".[2]

Fort Myers Broadcasting surrendered WNPL's license to the Federal Communications Commission, which cancelled the license on May 21, 2021.
