KPLY (630 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Reno, Nevada. It is owned by Lotus Communications and features a sports radio format.[2] Its studios are on Plumb Lane in South Reno.

By day, KPLY is powered at 5,000 watts non-directional. But to protect other stations on 630 AM from interference, at night it reduces power to 1,000 watts and uses a directional antenna with a two-tower array. The transmitter is off Hoge Road in Northeast Reno.[3]
