WWIZ was a commercial radio station at 1380 AM that was licensed to Lorain, Ohio, and broadcast from 1958 to 1967.

The station shut down when its license was revoked by the Federal Communications Commission after the principal owner failed to notify the agency of an ownership transfer weeks prior to signing on. An unrelated radio station, WLRO, signed on in December 1969 using the same transmitter as WWIZ; it continues on the air today as WDLW.
