WXPI was an independent, non-commercial, listener-supported community radio station in Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania, United States broadcasting at 88.5 FM.[2] The station, which serves part of the greater Williamsport area in Lycoming County, airs a mix of news, public affairs, and music programming.
Licensed by the FCC in 2011, WXPI is affiliated with the Pacifica Radio network, while its local programming is staffed entirely by volunteers.[3][1] The station is owned by Williamsport Independent Media, Inc., which publishes the Williamsport Guardian, the region's alternative newspaper.[3]
In 2025, Williamsport Independent Media sold the license for the original WXPI to Family Life Ministries, owner of the Family Life Network, for $20,000. This allowed it to build and operate a construction permit for a new low-power FM radio station in Williamsport.[4] After the purchase, Family Life immediately shut the facility down so that it could apply to upgrade Family Life transmitter WCOB at State College.[5]
