WMLB, "AM 1690 WMLB, The Voice of the Arts", is a radio station licensed to Avondale Estates, Georgia and serves most of the Atlanta, Georgia radio market. The station broadcasts a very eclectic radio format, playing classical music, folk music, jazz, show tunes, comedy bits, and some rock and roll. WMLB's sister station is talk radio station, "News Talk 1160". WMLB used to belong at WCFO's dial position.

In June 2006, JW Broadcasting, owners of WMLB, took ownership of WWAA (formerly an Air America Radio affiliate).cite news|title=Future uncertain for Air America's Atlanta affiliate|author = Abkowitz, Alyssa|date=2006-05-10 |accessdate=2007-12-11|publisher = Creative Loafing (Atlanta, Georgia)|url=http://atlanta.creativeloafing.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=72926] .

The callsign change brought with it the eclectic radio format previously heard at 1160 kHz. One radio program from the Air America Radio radio network remained on the station, "The Al Franken Show", until Al Franken's last radio show in February 2007.
