WPTF, News-Talk 680, is a general talk radio station serving the Triangle area of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The station is owned by Curtis Media Group. Its call letters date back to the former longtime owner of the station, Durham Life Insurance Company, whose motto was "We Protect The Family."

Programs on WPTF include Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Clark Howard, Dr. Dean Edell, and local hosts Bill LuMaye, Tom Kearney and Jack Boston. WPTF also serves as the flagship station for NC State Wolfpack sports network, which broadcasts football and men's basketball games as well as coaches' shows to over 30 stations throughout the state.[1]

WPTF is the former call sign of channel 28, the longtime NBC affiliate in the Triangle. That station is now WRDC, "MyRDC," an affiliate of MyNetworkTV.
