WXPK-FM, known on-air as The Peak, is a rock radio station in White Plains, New York. It is owned by Pamal Broadcasting. It broadcasts to New York's northern suburbs at 107.1 FM and online at www.1071ThePeak.com
The Peak adopted the moniker “World Class Rock for New York’s Backyard” in April 2004. Staffed by veteran broadcasters from New York City and around the country, The Peak is the only commercial Triple A radio station in the New York area. The Program Director is Chris Herrmann (WHJY/Providence, WCSX/Detroit, WBOS/Boston) who doubles as the midday host. The morning show host and music director is Rob (Lipschitz) Arrow (WCOZ/Boston, WAAF, Boston, WHJY/Providence). Legendary New York radio personality Jimmy Fink (WHFS/Bethesda, WXRK/New York, WPLJ/New York) is the afternoon host.

Renowned for their Peak Performance Series, the radio station brings world-class artists to New York’s backyard for live concerts in “the world’s most intimate performance venue” the famed Acme Recording and Mastering studio in Mamaroneck, NY. Select members of the Peak Listener Advisory Board are invited to attend. The sessions are recorded and played back on the air. The resulting tracks are exclusive to The Peak and are not available for purchase or download.
Like format leaders KBCO in Denver and KFOG in San Francisco, The Peak airs a locally produced “10 at 10” weekdays at 10 am and 10 pm. The program features 10 songs from a single year peppered with snippets of popular movies, television shows and commercials from that year. In 2006, the editors of Westchester magazine named “The Peak’s 10 at 10 hosted by Rob Arrow” the Best Local Radio Show. In the annual Best of Westchester issue, readers voted The Peak The Best Radio Station.
