WPSB 99.5 FM is broadcast from the 65th Street Public Safety Radio Tower and can be received in the greater Ocean City area. WWOP 100.3 FM also broadcasts the same programming from a tower near Ocean Pines and can be heard as you approach or depart the Ocean City area.

An emergency could consist of severe weather or any other condition that could affect the well-being of the public in the Ocean City area. This non-commercial radio station is managed by the Emergency Services Department, and in non-emergency situations, the station broadcasts community information 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
