WRPN (1600 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a full-service, soft oldies and AC and talk format. Licensed to the city of Ripon, Wisconsin, United States, the station is currently owned by Civic Media.[2] Its original call letters were WCWC, which stood for "Central Wisconsin Canning", the owners of the station. WCWC at one time also had a co-owned FM station, first at 95.9 MHz and later at 96.1 MHz. The call letters were originally WCWC-FM, then later WYUR.

In April 2025, Civic Media bought the station and WAUH from Hometown Broadcasting LLC for $1.4 million.[3]
