WSPK (104.7 FM, "K104.7") is a contemporary hit radio station licensed to Poughkeepsie, New York. Its studios are located on NY 52 Business in the town of Fishkill (with a Beacon address). It is owned by Pamal Broadcasting and transmits from a tower atop Beacon Mountain in Fishkill.

WSPK's main coverage area is centered on the Mid-Hudson Valley, with secondary targeting into the eastern Catskills; Northern Westchester County; the Danbury, Connecticut, area; Sussex County, New Jersey; and Pike County, Pennsylvania. For many years, the station's top-of-hour ID mentioned its coverage of parts of five states (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts) and "an itty-bitty piece of Vermont". WSPK reaches the Bronx and, until the launch of stations at adjacent frequencies in the early 1990s, Albany as well. In recent years illegal pirate broadcasters have begun broadcasting on 104.7 in the Bronx and Brooklyn which interfere with K-104's signal in Southern Westchester and the Bronx where the station used to be listenable all the time.
