WHLS is an Adult Standards radio station in Port Huron, Michigan on AM 1450. This station broadcasts from the same tower as sister station WHLS with 1,000 watts of power and is also heard on 1590 WHLX Marine City. WHLX/WHLS are owned by Radio First of Port Huron.

WHLS signed on in August 1938 and was for a time the principal Top 40 music station in the Port Huron/Blue Water area, as well as the very first radio station serving St. Clair County. The station was found by the late John Wismer and H.L. Stevens. Wismer operated the station and FM sister WSAQ until his death in the late 90's. The station was sold to Liggett Commuications (now Radio First) in 2000 by Wismer's estate. Liggett had also acquired Wismer's crosstown competitor, WPHM and WBTI that same year from Hanson Communications.

WHLX Marine City, which also had been under Hanson's ownership since 1997, has simulcast WHLS since September 2000. In June 2001, WHLS/WHLX switched from satellite-fed Oldies (from Jones Radio Networks) to Westwood One's Adult Standards format. The station airs the popular syndicated program "American Standards By The Sea" Saturday mornings and Sunday evenings.
