WLFK (95.3 FM, "95-3 The Wolf") is a radio station licensed for 6,000 watts at Gouverneur, New York. The station also has a low-power repeater in Watertown, New York, which broadcasts with 50 watts. The audio from this station can be heard on Time Warner Cable in Watertown, New York, on channel 96. Time Warner picks up the broadcast from repeater 104.1 which is also in Watertown. Since the FM audio subcarrier for cable channel 96 can be heard on 101.75 FM, cable subscribers in the greater Watertown area can hear WLFK in a much larger area than its low powered Watertown signal can cover.

Owned and operated by Community Broadcasters, LLC, it broadcasts a country format. The station carries a national news feed from CNN at the top of each hour. The station has a local disc jockey, Wolfman Bill, (weekdays 6-9 am), and local news courtesy of John Moore at WWTI-TV 50 (Watertown, New York). The remainder of the schedule is filled by satellite, with no local news after that.

The station broadcasts Clarkson University hockey. The announcer is Bob Ahlfeld.
