WNBZ-FM (106.3 MHz) is a radio station broadcasting with a classic hits format. Licensed to Saranac, New York, United States, the station is owned by William Dickerson, through NBZ, LLC. Its studios are located on Cornelia Street in Plattsburgh, New York. The studios were formerly located in the Gateway office building and subsequently at 26 City Hall Place, in a storefront adjacent to the McDonough Monument, also in Plattsburgh; it has previously maintained facilities at Radio Park in Saranac Lake and in the Champlain Centre mall in Plattsburgh.

As of June 2017, WNBZ-FM's programming was simulcast on WRGR (102.1 FM) in Tupper Lake; it has also simulcast with WNBZ (1240 AM) in Saranac Lake and WLPW (105.5 FM) in Lake Placid. As of November 2017, WNBZ-FM was the only one of Saranac Lake Radio's stations to remain on the air. That month, Saranac Lake Radio agreed to sell the station to NBZ, LLC for $300,000; under the terms of the deal, the new owners began programming WNBZ-FM under a local marketing agreement on December 1. The sale was consummated on August 6, 2018.

On January 1, 2024, after stunting on New Year's Eve with all-Rick Astley songs, WNBZ-FM relaunched its classic hits format as "106.3 NBZ-FM".
