WPBI

WPBI (90.7 FM) is a National Public Radio member station in West Palm Beach, Florida, owned by American Public Media Group and branded as Classical South Florida. 
WPBI airs NPR national programming which includes Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Fresh Air, and Marketplace, as well as classical music, including locally-produced Mid-Morning Musicale with Mark Galsky, Joanna Marie's Classical Variations, and other locally-produced programming such as Uncorked! and On The Money. 
WPBI was previously known as WHRS-FM and later WXEL. In April 2005, Barry University, then-owner of WXEL (as well as PBS station WXEL-TV) announced a pending purchase of both WXEL and WXEL-TV to a group consisting of Educational Broadcasting Corporation (owners of New York City's WNET and WLIW) and the Community Broadcast Foundation of Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast, a local volunteer organization. Barry University decided to terminate the sale in May 2008.
Another deal to sell WXEL radio, this time to American Public Media, doing business as Classical South Florida, was reached on April 20, 2010 after receiving approval from the station's trustees. The sale closed on May 25, 2011 and, as WXEL-TV was not included in the deal, the call letters of the radio station were changed to WPBI. APM operates the station separately from its existing Miami radio station WKCP, which is also branded as Classical South Florida, as they already operate WKCP translator W270AD in West Palm Beach.
The station carries the general feed of Classical 24 full-time on their HD2 subchannel.
==Future Plans==
On Wednesday, September 14, 2011, the station began simulcasting WKCP on its main and HD-1 channels, full time.
An all news and talk format including major NPR programs began broadcasting on the HD-2 channel and is translated on W270AD 101.9 FM.
