WPYB (1130 AM) is a radio station in Benson, North Carolina—a small town between Raleigh and Fayetteville—that has a classic country music format.
WPYB was the first station that was owned by George G. Beasley, the founder of Beasley Broadcast Group.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Beasley founded the station to cater to the black community in the Benson area, inspired by his commitment to provide a "voice for the voiceless" in his local community.[1]
WPYB operates only during daylight hours[2] to accommodate the signal of WBBR[3] in New York City.
According to a listing in the SRDS Radio Advertising Source, Spring/Summer 2007, WPYB billed itself as "the best little station in the nation".
On April 29, 2021, WPYB was sold to McLamb Broadcasting for US$190,000.[4]
