WCPE-FM is a classical music radio station broadcasting out of studios near Wake Forest, North Carolina. The station went on the air July 17, 1978 and switched to a 24-hour classical music format in 1982.
Despite its seeming connection to composer Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, WCPE's call letters stand for nothing; the station simply did not have the money to petition the FCC for a specific set of call letters.
WCPE has an extensive network of affiliate radio stations across both central and eastern North Carolina and the United States, and can be heard on cable television systems and the Galaxy V satellite. It also broadcasts in five streaming audio formats on the Internet; WCPE was the first public radio station in the nation to broadcast its programming on the Internet.
The station is one of the rare stations with a 100% full-time classical format.
