WDUL (970 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Superior, Wisconsin. It airs a top 40 (CHR) radio format and is owned and operated by Midwest Communications. Midwest's six Duluth-Superior radio stations share studios at 11 East Superior Street in downtown Duluth, Minnesota.

WDUL is a Class D AM station. It is powered at 1,000 watts by day, using a non-directional antenna. To avoid interference to other stations on 970 AM, at night it reduces power to 26 watts.[2] Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator W251CD at 98.1 MHz in Superior. It uses the translator dial position in its moniker "Hot 98.1."
