News/Talk 99.7 FM & AM 630 WPRO live

WPRO is Rhode Island's news and talk station. It broadcasts on 630 AM, is licensed to Providence and is simulcast in the Newport area on WEAN-FM 99.7 — together "News/Talk 99.7 FM & AM 630 WPRO" — with the slogan "The Voice of Southern New England". The station is owned by Cumulus Media, and on this page you can listen to WPRO live online, free. The online stream is offered to listeners inside the United States; outside the country it may not play because of rights restrictions.

News, talk and the Patriots

WPRO airs news and talk with ABC News Radio, NBC News Radio, Radio America and Westwood One, and it is part of the New England Patriots Radio Network.

Salty Brine Broadcast Center

The studios for WPRO and the other Cumulus Providence stations are on Wampanoag Road in East Providence, at the Salty Brine Broadcast Center, named after WPRO's longtime morning host.

History

WPRO signed on on June 15, 1924, as WKBF. It went through several call signs, including WDWF and WDWF-WLSI, before becoming WPRO — for Providence — in 1931.

Sister stations

In Providence, Cumulus also owns WEAN-FM, WPRO-FM, WPRV, WWKX and WWLI.
