KTLK-FM (104.9 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Columbia, Illinois, and serving Greater St. Louis. Owned and operated by iHeartMedia, the station airs a conservative talk radio format known as "104.9 The Patriot". Studios and offices are on Highlands Plaza Drive in St. Louis just south of Forest Park.

KTLK-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 8,400 watts. The transmitter is in the Resurrection Cemetery in Shrewsbury, amid the towers for other St. Louis FM and TV stations. KTLK-FM is licensed by the FCC to broadcast using HD Radio technology.[2] The HD-2 digital subchannel carries the urban adult contemporary format previously heard on the main channel, known as "Majic 104.9".

After a local morning drive time show hosted by Jamie Allman, the rest of the weekday schedule is made up of nationally syndicated programs, mostly from co-owned Premiere Networks: Glenn Beck, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton, Sean Hannity and Jesse Kelly, as well as Dave Ramsey and "Red Eye Radio".[3] Most hours begin with world and national news from 24/7 News Source.
