WLKN (98.1 FM, "Lake 98.1") is a radio station serving the lakeshore cities of Sheboygan and Manitowoc/Two Rivers, Wisconsin, along with Manitowoc and Sheboygan Counties in general. The station is physically located in Cleveland, Wisconsin, their city of license, mid-way between the two areas, and is owned by Seehafter Broadcasting.
WLKN has an adult contemporary format and is known as "Lake 98.1". Notable programming includes syndicated evening host Delilah, weekends with Tom Kent and the Sunday morning "Dave Koz Radio Show", along with coverage of Sheboygan County high school sports (as Cleveland is covered by the Sheboygan Area School District, there is no local high school in the village), mainly those of Howards Grove High School and Sheboygan Falls High School. The station is managed by Dave Jetzer. The station is voicetracked by local personalities for shifts outside of the station's morning show.
The station was formerly WKTT "Kat Country" prior to a format change in 2003, and had been at 103.1 before a frequency change in 1993 in conjunction with WWJR in Sheboygan from 97.7 to 93.7 to facilitate the launch of Kaukauna's WOGB on 103.1.
On October 9, 2009 after a sale for $600,000 and a four year consulting fee of $25,000 annually from former owner Radio K-T, Inc. headed by former Clear Channel programmer Jack Taddeo, the station came under the ownership of Seehafer Broadcasting, a locally-run company based in Manitowoc which has owned WOMT (1240) and WQTC-FM (102.3) for decades. Seehafer will continue to base WLKN at their Cleveland offices, along with utilizing the station's web provider to create a more state-of-the-art website presence for the latter stations under WLKN's existing Internet technology agreement.
