WSSO (1230 AM) was a radio station licensed to the city of Starkville, Mississippi. It was owned by Cumulus Media, through licensee Cumulus Licensing LLC. Until going silent in 2025, it broadcast a sports format known as "1230 The Team".[2] The station carried programming from Infinity Sports Network.
AM 1230 is a local Class C frequency within the 48 states, and stations on this frequency are allowed to broadcast 24 hours per day.

WSSO ceased operations March 7, 2025.[5] It was one of six Cumulus stations to close the weekend of March 7, as part of a larger shutdown of underperforming Cumulus stations,[6] and was one of four defunct Cumulus stations to surrender their licenses that September.[5] The Federal Communications Commission cancelled the station's license on September 29, 2025.[7]
