WIRD (920 AM) was a radio station broadcasting an Adult Standards/MOR format, simulcasting sister station WNBZ. Licensed to Lake Placid, New York, United States, the station was owned by Radio Lake Placid, Inc. and featured programming from ABC Radio.[2]

The station went on the air November 21, 1961.[1] WIRD's license was canceled on May 24, 2017 for failure to pay debt it owed to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which prevented the station's license from being renewed.[3] Shortly after the cancellation, on June 21, 2017, the Adirondack Daily Enterprise reported that WIRD has been off the air for at least two years.[4]
