WPJP (100.1 FM) is a radio station licensed to Port Washington, Wisconsin, and licensed to Starboard Media Foundation, Inc. They have been airing Catholic-based religious programming as "Relevant Radio" since March 2003.

Prior to Starboard's purchase of the station, 100.1 was WGLB-FM, which aired a variety of eclectic programming over the years, most notably 70s hits. For a time, they carried various satellite-delivered syndicated formats, but in later years were mostly live and local. The slogan was "Retro Radio". They briefly carried Don Imus's syndicated morning talk radio show in the late 1990s. The stations languished at the bottom of the Milwaukee area ratings due to its location and limited signal, which did not penetrate the southern half of Milwaukee County.

WGLB was owned by Joel Kinlow until he sold the station to Starboard. WGLB-FM signed off the air on May 21 2003 and following a station upgrade, WPJP officially debuted on August 22, 2003.

Kinlow presently owns WGLB-AM, which airs a gospel music format.

WPJP airs much of the national content of Relevant Radio, but also airs some local programming, including Milwaukee Archbishop Timothy Dolan's Sunday Mass, and Marquette Golden Eagles men's basketball.
