WORL (950 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Orlando, Florida, United States. It serves Central Florida, including the Greater Orlando radio market. It airs a conservative talk radio format and is known as "AM 950 and FM 94.9 The Answer". WORL is owned by the Salem Media Group with studios and offices on Lake View Drive in Altamonte Springs.

By day, WORL transmits with 12,000 watts using a non-directional antenna. Because radio waves travel farther at night, WORL reduces power to 5,000 watts after sunset to avoid interfering with other stations on AM 950 and uses a directional antenna with a five-tower array. The transmitter is off Ring Road in Orlando.[2] Programming is also heard on a 225-watt FM translator, 94.9 W235CR in Orlando.[3]
