WPEK (880 AM), known as "880 the Revolution", is a daytime-only AM radio station in Fairview, North Carolina serving the greater Asheville, North Carolina area.
WTZY signed on in the mid-'90s with a talk radio format, the second Asheville area station to air Rush Limbaugh (after WSKY).
When the station's talk programming was moved to WWNC, WTZY became WPEK "The Peak", a classic country station. Later, the format was adult standards.
In 2004, the format was switched to progressive talk and today the station broadcasts talk shows by hosts Bill Press, Stephanie Miller, Ed Schultz, Randi Rhodes and Thom Hartmann.
Weekend programing includes Mountain Music Time, a program of traditional bluegrass and mountain music broadcast on Saturday mornings, followed by an hour of the Errington Thompson Show, then Virato Live, a holistic, new age metaphysical cultural creative talk show hosted by Virato. The remainder of the weekend is syndicated and sponsored national programming.
