WTKW ("TK99") is a classic rock radio station in Bridgeport, New York. The station broadcasts to the Syracuse, New York market on a frequency of 99.5 FM.

WTKW was launched in 1992 as a country music station under the leadership of Bob Paris (real name Gary W. Gallup), a longtime disc jockey in Syracuse. [1] It eventually changed to its current classic rock format no later than 1997.

The station also simulcasts on full-power satellite WTKV (105.5 FM) in Minetto, New York (serving Oswego) and low-power translator W256AC (99.1 FM) for Downtown Syracuse.

In April 2007, WTKW/WTKV became the flagship station of Syracuse University athletics with play-by-play coverage of Men's Football, Men's Basketball and Men's Lacrosse games.
