WPRZ 88.1 Praise Radio

WPRZ 88.1 Praise Radio A Christian radio station that connects the community to Christ! Glorifying God & Growing Believers!

WPRZ first aired in 1982 on a 1,000 watt AM station that was given to Praise Communications, Inc. Back then, it was one of the first stations solely dedicated to broadcasting Contemporary Christian Music. Though it faced the threat of cancellation several times, WPRZ has been kept alive by God’s will and the perseverance of Sally Buchanan, her husband, Steve, and their dedicated staff and voluntee

rs. Now, almost 40 years later, what began as a pioneering small AM station, now streams to the world and on WPRZ 88.1 FM. Our mission to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost, to nurture and help believers grow in their relationship with God and to strengthen the local church continues as we look forward to growing the reach of WPRZ.

Remembering Steve Buchanan today. This is the on-air studio of WPRZ and the chair he sat in for decades. His presence will be truly missed, but we know he is beholding his savior face to face even now. Until we all meet again in glory … ❤️

With deep love and profound sadness, we share with you the news that Steve Buchanan has entered into the presence of the Lord. For 43 years, Steve’s voice carried the Good News over the airwaves of WPRZ to our community and beyond. As you know, his beloved wife Sally, co-founder and general manager of WPRZ, went home to be with Jesus almost five years ago. Together, Steve and Sally built this radio ministry with God’s leading and through the incredible faithfulness of you, our listeners. They’ve left a lasting legacy in Christian broadcasting, and we here at WPRZ will continue to press on with the mission of glorifying God and growing believers.
We rejoice that he is home with his Savior, and we ask for your prayers for his family and for our station team in this season of loss.
If you’d like to share a memory of Steve or a word of comfort, you can email us at [email protected] or write to WPRZ, 219 East Davis Street, Suite 220, Culpeper, VA 22701. From all of us at WPRZ, thank you for your love, prayers, and continued support.
We love you, Steve.
Well done, good and faithful servant.
