WPTN (780 AM, "106.1 The Eagle") is a radio station broadcasting a classic hits format.[1] Licensed to Cookeville, Tennessee, United States, the station serves the Cookeville area. The station is owned by Cookeville Communications, LLC.[2] Because WPTN broadcasts on the same frequency as "clear–channel" station WBBM in Chicago, Illinois, it only broadcasts during the daytime hours and is required to sign off at sunset.
WPTN is formerly a Top 40 station for the area in the 1980s. On November 3, 2017, WPTN changed their format from sports to classic hits, still branded as "106.1 The Eagle".[3]
