WWCK (1570 kHz) was a commercial AM radio station in Flint, Michigan. It is owned by Cumulus Media and it broadcast a classic hits radio format. Its studios were south of the Flint city limits and the AM transmitter was east of downtown Flint near the intersection of Dort Highway and I-69. At closure, WWCK carried Michigan State Spartans college football and men's basketball.
By day, WWCK was powered at 1,000 watts. But because 1570 AM is a Mexican clear channel frequency, WWCK had to reduce power at night to 179 watts to avoid interference.
Programming was also heard on FM translator W297CG at 107.3 MHz, the FM translator was used to brand both stations as "K 107.3". The translator was located on the same tower as its sister station WWCK-FM, which is also located on the same site as WWCK.
