WPYB, Country, 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.^{[citation needed]} Mr. Beasley has long since sold WPYB, and the most recent ownership was Dunn-Benson Broadcasting, a local company owned by Leon Tart & Sue Tart.

WPYB operates only during daylight hours^[1] to accommodate the signal of WBBR^[2] 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 May 1, 2021 WPYB was sold to McLamb Broadcasting for 190,000 USD.
