WPZS (610 kHz), known on air as "Praise 102.5 FM 610 AM", is a commercial urban gospel formatted AM radio station in Charlotte, North Carolina. Owned by Urban One, its studios and offices are at 1 Julian Price Place.

WPZS uses a directional antenna and transmits with 5,000 watts by day. At night, it reduces power to 1,000 watts, sending most of its signal to the east, to avoid interfering with other stations on AM 610 and adjacent frequencies. The transmitter is at the site of its former studios on Radio Road in the Oakdale neighborhood of Northwest Charlotte. Programming is also heard on 200-watt FM translator W273DA at 102.5 MHz. That translator is fed by the HD2 subchannel of sister station WOSF (105.3 FM).
