WPLY (960 AM) is a radio station licensed to serve Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, USA. The station is owned by Nassau Broadcasting II, LLC, but is currently off the air pending FCC investigation.

WPLY broadcasts a news/talk radio format.[2] The station simulcasts with WVPO (840 AM) in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.

The station was assigned the WPLY call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on March 10, 2005.[1]

WPLY originally signed on in April 1981 as WPCN. The locally-owned community radio station was notably innovative at the time for installing serial #1 of the Continental Model 314R1 PWM transmitter, which ushered in an era of enhanced audio fidelity and efficient, power-saving operation (since replaced with a Harris Gates One). The four towers, employing elevated feeds, are guyed with non-conductive Phillystran cable, also very innovative at the time.
