WRIE (1260 AM) is a radio station licensed to Erie, Pennsylvania, United States, that is currently silent. Owned by Cumulus Media, it last aired a sports format as the local affiliate for the Infinity Sports Network. WRIE's studios and transmitter site are located at 471 Robison Road in Erie.
The station began broadcasting as WERC in 1941. It was locally owned by the Presque Isle Broadcasting Company and aired national radio programming from CBS and later NBC in the 1940s; it moved from 1490 to 1230 kHz in 1945 and then again to 1260 kHz in 1949. The station changed call signs to WWYN in 1961 and WLKK in 1977, the latter accompanying a switch to a country music format. WLKK flipped to beautiful music in 1986 and oldies in 1987, briefly adopting the WHDZ call sign before changing to WRIE in 1989 when the previous user of that call sign in Erie was sold and abandoned it.
After airing Music of Your Life adult standards programming through the 1990s and early- to mid-2000s, the station switched to sports radio in 2007, initially as an ESPN Radio affiliate before changing to CBS Sports Radio (later renamed Infinity) at the start of 2013. WRIE also carried games from the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Cleveland Browns, and the Cleveland Guardians and was supplemented with a low-power FM translator. Cumulus Media took WRIE dark in mid-March 2025 as part of a larger effort in the company to suspend underperforming radio stations in their portfolio.
