WHKO (99.1 FM, "K99.1FM") is a commercial radio station in Dayton, Ohio. The station is owned by Cox Media Group and carries a country music radio format. Its studios and offices are co-located with the Dayton Daily News, WHIO-AM-FM-TV, and two more radio stations in the Cox Media Center building near downtown Dayton.

WHKO is considered a "Superpower FM" station;^[2] because it signed on in 1946, it is grandfathered with a bigger signal than most FM stations in Ohio. Its power, 50,000 watts, is the same as several FM stations in Dayton, and its height above average terrain (HAAT) at 325 meters (1,066 ft) is far above what would be allowed today, a maximum of 152 meters (499 ft) for that power. WHKO's transmitter is on Germantown Street in Dayton, on co-owned WHIO-TV's tower.^[3] The HD2 digital subchannel simulcasts WZLR's classic hits format. The HD3 subchannel plays urban oldies and feeds FM translator W254BA at 98.7 MHz.^[4]
