WKPE-FM (103.9 FM), known as "Cape Country 104", is a Country radio station licensed to South Yarmouth, Massachusetts, with its main studio in Hyannis, Massachusetts, shared with WFCC-FM, WQRC, and WOCN-FM. WKPE-FM is locally owned by "Cape Cod Broadcasting" (also known as Sandab Communications).
The station signed on on April 5, 1991, under the callsign WVCU, which changed to WATB that June. On May 6, 1994, the station changed calls again to WOCN-FM. From the moment the station signed on, the station aired a soft AC format.
Beginning on September 25, 2007, the station began stunting. Initially, the stunting involved playing one song in a loop. Each day the station added another song to the line up. On the tenth day of the stunt program (October 4, 2007), the songs began disappearing from the rotation. An announcement between songs also began to play, noting how many more days were left (counting down from 8 days) before the new format would be announced on October 12, 2007.
The list of songs played during the stunt were:
"American Pie" by Don McLean, "Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone" by Ella Fitzgerald, "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse, "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch" by Thurl Ravenscroft (the voice of Tony the Tiger), "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, "Wide Open Spaces" by The Dixie Chicks, "Dirty Water" by The Standells, "Gone Country" by Alan Jackson, and "Sexyback" by Justin Timberlake.
