WPKN (89.5 FM) is a 100% non-commercial, listener-supported^† radio station broadcasting at 89.5 FM in Bridgeport, Connecticut and 88.7 FM (WPKM) in Montauk, New York. Its volunteer programmers present a wide variety of music and public affairs programming including the syndicated weekly radio news magazine [http://btlonline.org/ "Between The Lines"] . WPKN's programming can also be heard on the internet as a live audio stream.

WPKN was founded in 1963 as the college radio station of the University of Bridgeport, but became independent of the university in 1989.

† "Many stations below the 92MHz FM band receive funds from commercial entities despite being part of the non-commercial radio band. This is thought by some to present the potential for conflicts of interest. WPKN only takes funds from private donors with no stipulations for their expenditure attached. This allows the music and news programmers complete freedom to produce their own shows with no outside pressure."
