WLKB (89.1 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a contemporary Christian format. Licensed to Bay City, Michigan, it is a member of the K-LOVE radio network. The transmitter is located on Hotchkiss Drive near Delta College, and its signal reaches from the West Branch area southward to north of Flint and westward to Mount Pleasant.
The station began broadcasting in July 1993 as "The Rock" WTRK, a locally-originating Christian CHR/Rock station. The station was popular in local ratings due to providing an edgier-styled Christian music format not available elsewhere in the area at the time.

WTRK dropped local programming in 2004 to affiliate with Educational Media Foundation's Air 1 format.
