86.5 WNPN is a talk radio station broadcasting out of the Derelli Towers.

WNPN was founded in 1955 as a way for the people of New Prairie to discuss events in the city. It was most popular during the mid to late 70's as it was the only station on the air after the Burning of New Prairie. It suffered a steady decline until the early 2010s, when listeners returned after a publicity stunt breathed new life into the station.
