WWCK (1570 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Flint, Michigan. It is owned by Cumulus Media and it broadcasts a classic hits radio format. Its studios are south of the Flint city limits and the AM transmitter is east of downtown Flint near the intersection of Dort Highway and I-69. WWCK carries Michigan State Spartans college football and men's basketball.

By day, WWCK is powered at 1,000 watts. But because 1570 AM is a Mexican clear channel frequency, WWCK must reduce power at night to 179 watts to avoid interference. Programming is also heard on FM translator W297CG at 107.3 MHz, using the same tower as sister station WWCK-FM.[1] The FM frequency is used to brand both stations as "K 107.3".
