740 AM WPAQ has been airing Bluegrass/Americana and Gospel music as well as Religious programs since February 2, 1948. The station was literally built by Ralph Epperson, who owned and managed the 10,000-watt daytimer until his death in 2006. Epperson's son Kelly took over as general manager and kept things pretty much the same including the continuation of "Merry Go-Round", a live music program which has aired every Saturday for almost 70 years. WPAQ is licensed to Mount Airy, North Carolina.
