The Gospel Opportunities Radio Network is a group of non-commercial FM radio stations, based in Marquette, Michigan, at 130 Carmen Drive.

Gospel Opportunities, Inc. was formed in 1975 to provide religious radio programming in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. WHWL became its first station when it went on the air in April 1976. WHWL is a Christian station with a focus on Bible teaching programs and traditional, conservative music. Their current station manager, Andy Larsen, has been in the position since 2016 when he took over for the late Curt Marker. The station usually has between eight and 10 on-air radio personalities, highlighted by Kathy Kantola who hosts the children's storytime program Kathy's Kids Korner weekdays from 1:30 to 4 p.m.

Expansion

The Network received negative media attention upon being granted a construction permit at 88.5 MHz for Rockland, Michigan facility WHWM. The permit would displace an existing class D station (WOAS) licensed to the Ontonagon Area School District and operated by students at Ontonagon High School. ^[1]^[2]^[3]
