WLKN (98.1 FM, "Lake 98.1") is a radio station licensed to Cleveland, Wisconsin with an adult contemporary format consisting mainly of music from the 1980s until the current day, serving the lakeshore cities of Sheboygan and Manitowoc/Two Rivers, Wisconsin, along with Manitowoc and Sheboygan Counties in general. The station's studio is located in Manitowoc, and the station is owned by Seehafer Broadcasting. The station's transmitter is located north of Cleveland, in the Town of Newton.
The station has some interference within Manitowoc and Two Rivers proper with two stations on adjacent frequencies from Green Bay, WTAQ-FM (97.7) and WQLH (98.5). Because of this, WLKN simulcasts using an FM translator station, W278BQ, at 103.5 FM to serve those cities from the WOMT transmitter site. That translator is separately owned by Magnum Media, which has entered into several sales to Seehafer Broadcasting in the 2020s.
