Under the ownership of Radioactive, LLC (a holding company owned by
Randy Michaels), the
Federal Communications Commission issued a
construction permit for the station on June 9, 2005. The station was assigned the
call sign WUPF on September 29, 2006. It received its
license to cover on July 29, 2008 and began broadcasting shortly thereafter. On August 7, 2008, the station changed its call sign to the current WUPT. In late 2016, the station was one of four stations (the others being
WUPG,
WUPF, and
WUPZ) that were sold to Armada Media Corporation (a holding company owned by Chris Bernier). Shortly after the sale, the studio was moved into the Radio Results Network Marquette office on Ridge Street in Marquette, Michigan and became a member station of the Radio Results Network portfolio. Currently, WUPT airs a Classic Hits music format and is the flagship station for Northern Michigan University Sports. ==References==
