WIRY is an AM radio station licensed to Plattsburgh, New York. The locally owned and operated radio station broadcasts at 1340 kHz in C-QUAM AM stereo into a Valcom whip antenna [2] (one of the only stations to do so) with a full-service variety format.

WIRY is primarily music-formatted, featuring an eclectic variety of formats. The station describes its format as "Adult Contemporary Format, with a careful blend of New Country Hits, As Well As oldie classics from the 50's - present (…) some [ classic country ] as well from time to time during the day." There is also a monthly show devoted to big band music.

WIRY is mostly locally operated. The station has a live local morning show and an extensive local news and sports bureau, carrying the Plattsburgh Cardinals hockey team in winter months and high school sports. The station also has a tradio-style program titled "Swap Shop" and features several creative advertising programs, including a listing of lunch menus from advertisers and a radio help-wanted show titled "Who's Hiring." Weather forecasts are taken from public domain National Weather Service reports.
