WFPC Podcasting#31 - WFPC 2025 RecapThanks for joining us in 2025 for WFPC podcasting where we explored the people, information and news right here in Pike County!

Before the consolidation of Pike County Schools for the 1974-75 school year, the three remaining high schools were Otwell, Petersburg and Winslow.

It was a way of life… and only needing a handful or two of participants small schools could compete with programs that had larger student bodies.

WFPC Podcasting#5 - Clint SwisherWelcome to WPFC Podcasting! This is a weekly look at news and information in and around Pike County! Our heritage of Coal Mining in Pike County is a deep vein.

Our foot print is larger than that of New York City! One of the coal mines, this one in Jefferson Township, near Cato, the property was gifted by Old Ben Coal, to the Buffalo Trace Council of the Boy Scouts and they bu...

If you’ve been around Pike County a while this is WFPC 2.0. Back in the mid 1980’s we had a radio station, and because of economics, it was sold to a larger group in 1999.
