WPAA (1190 AM) is a Christian radio station licensed to serve St. Marys, Georgia, United States. The station is owned by Lighthouse Christian Broadcasting Corporation, which also owns WECC-FM at Folkston, Georgia. It broadcasts the same Christian programming as its sister station, WECC-FM 89.3, and it also broadcasts from its FM translator station W232DA 94.3 MHz, located at St. Marys.

History

The station was assigned the call sign WWIO by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on April 19, 2002.

The call sign was changed to WPAA on January 20, 2025,[3] ahead of a $30,000 sale to Neal Ardman's NIA Broadcasting. Ardman, through Radio Kings Bay, already owns WKBX in the area.[4]
