WORL (950 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Orlando, Florida, United States.
WORL is owned by the Salem Media Group with studios and offices on Lake View Drive in Altamonte Springs.
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.

WORL is also the Orlando area affiliate for the Tampa Bay Rays Radio Network.
It was owned by Hazelwood, Inc., and was an NBC Blue Network affiliate, carrying its schedule of dramas, comedies, news, sports, soap operas, game shows and big band broadcasts during the "Golden Age of Radio".
