WDOW (1440 AM) was a radio station licensed to Dowagiac, Michigan.

According to Michguide.com, Kalamazoo Broadcasting (aka Kuiper Broadcasting), owner of WKPR AM 1420 Kalamazoo, is paying $80,000 to Langford Broadcasting as part of an agreement that would take WDOW off the air permanently and have WKPR move to AM 1440 and increase power in November 2010. As of April 2011, WDOW has been deleted from the FCC databases.

The station's most recent format prior to going silent was Fox Sports Radio.

The WDOW calls were also used for a time on WDOW-LP 97.1 FM, owned by Prayer Tower Ministries (no relationship to WDOW-AM or the former WDOW-FM at 92.1, which is now WHPD). Previously as WLWZ-LP, the station had aired religious programming. As of June 2011, WDOW-LP has also been deleted from the FCC databases and is no longer broadcasting.
