WFMK FM 99.1, is an adult contemporary radio station licensed to East Lansing, Michigan. It is owned by Citadel Broadcasting.

WFMK is one of the United States' oldest adult contemporary stations. The station signed on in the 1960's as WSWM, and offered a Beautiful Music format under the moniker "Stereo Island".WSWM was purchased by Robert G. Liggett Jr. in 1971. Liggett changed the station's call sign to WFMK, and initially programmed a mix of Adult Contemporary music during the day, and Album Oriented Rock overnight. The AOR portion of the format was dropped in the mid-1970's, and the Adult Contemporary format expanded to 24 hours a day, under the moniker "Easy Rockin' FM 99". Over the years WFMK's adult contemporary format has evolved to the point that the station's current slogan is "The Best Mix of the '80s, '90s and Today." WFMK has long been one of the most popular and most highly-rated stations in the Lansing area.

When WHZZ in Lansing, Michigan abruptly changed format from Contemporary Hit Radio to Adult hits in 2005, WFMK, along with WQHH and WJXQ temporarily took advantage of the format switch, touting the many CHR artists on the station until WFMK's sister station, WJIM-FM changed format from oldies to CHR a few days later.

Weekends on WFMK are devoted to hits of the late 1970s and the 1980s.
