WPUT (1510 AM) was a radio station licensed to Brewster, New York, USA. The station was owned and operated by Townsquare Media.[1] The station operated on a Class D license and was in operation during daytime hours only, to protect Class-A clear-channel station WLAC in Nashville, Tennessee at night.

In December 2012, WPUT and WINE became affiliates of CBS Sports Radio.[2]

On August 30, 2013, a deal was announced in which Townsquare Media would acquire 53 Cumulus Media stations, including WPUT, for $238 million. The deal was part of Cumulus' acquisition of Dial Global; Townsquare and Dial Global are both controlled by Oaktree Capital Management.[3][4] The sale to Townsquare was completed on November 14, 2013.[5]

WPUT signed off the air on November 5, 2014 at 3:42 PM.[citation needed] Townsquare Media would return WPUT's license to the FCC on May 18, 2015.[6] Townsquare still owns the station's remaining real estate, building and tower.
