WSNR, AM 620, is a radio station in the New York City area with an all-sports format. It is owned by Paul Allen's Vulcan Ventures and is the local affiliate of Sporting News Radio. However, it no longer carries any regular SNR offerings, leasing out much of its time to local ethnic programmers. Sporting News Radio programs are inserted as filler during unsold time. WSNR is licensed to Jersey City, New Jersey and transmits 5,000 Watts from its transmitter in Lyndhurst, New Jersey. Its pervious city of licence was Newark, New Jersey.

Before it became an all-sports station, this was a Spanish-language music station that played adult contemporary and Tejano music at different times in the station's history. In the 1950's and 1960's it played Broadway show music almost exclusively, as WVNJ, with DJs introducing the various songs.

Beginning with the 2006 season, WSNR will broadcast all Columbia University football games. In the past, WSNR has broadcast Brooklyn Cyclones baseball games and NASCAR races.

In 2006, American City Business Journals purchased WSNR and the other Sporting News Radio stations (KMPC, Los Angeles and WWZN, Boston) as well as The Sporting News magazine, for an undisclosed price.
