    WIRD (920 AM) was a radio station broadcasting an adult standards 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]
