History

Kids' Choice Broadcasting Network, later Imagination Station Network, started broadcasting in late March 1990 on WPRD as its originating station. During this time the station used the moniker "The Imagination Station".^[1] Station owner, Metroplex Communications, invested in the network.^[2] In September, the station sponsored a concert for the one year anniversary of non-profit Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and Women featuring Peter Yarrow, a network vice president and investor.^[3]

On February 27, 1991, the Imagination Station Network stopped broadcasting on the station. At 2 PM that day, the station changed over to all-news with the CNN Headline News service. About 100 calls were received by the station regarding the discontinuation of the network on the station.^[4]
