WCHP (760 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Christian radio format branded as WCHP 760 AM. Licensed to Champlain, New York, United States, the station directs its daytime signal into nearby Montreal, Quebec, Canada, effectively being a border blaster. At night, the station broadcasts at a considerably lower power, to protect WJR in Detroit. The station is owned by Champlain Radio, Inc.[2]

History[edit]

The station was assigned the call letters WGGD on November 14, 1984. On December 19, 1984, the station changed its call sign to the current WCHP.[3] The station signed on August 20, 1985.[1]
