WPNA is an AM radio station in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, Illinois. WPNA hosts radio programs for various ethnic and cultural groups in the Chicago metropolitan area.

History

The station's history goes back to 1951, when a license to broadcast on 1490 AM, from Oak Park, was granted by the FCC, under the call sign WEBS. Shortly after going on the air the call sign was changed to WOPA, to better reflect the location of its studios, offices and antenna in the former Oak Park Arms Hotel.The call sign once again changed in 1984 to WBMX for 3 short years until 1490 AM, was purchased by the Polish National Alliance, and changed it's call letters to WPNA.
