WTLZ (107.1 FM, "Hot 107.1") is a radio station licensed to Saginaw, Michigan broadcasting an urban adult contemporary format.

The station is the heritage African-American-oriented radio station in the market and has featured some variation of urban format for decades, first as WWWS ("3-W-Soul") and then as WTLZ. WTLZ was known as "Power 107" throughout the 1990s, beginning as a Rhythmic Contemporary Hit Radio station but eventually evolving into Mainstream Urban. WTLZ softened its sound to a more Adult Urban direction in 1999 and reimaged as "Hot 107," cutting back on (but not totally eliminating for several years afterward) Rap and Hip-Hop product from its playlist (though Hip-Hop was played mostly at night). Rather than playing hip-hop at night, the station now features "slow jams" on the "Quiet Fire" (a variation of the Quiet Storm concept).

Hot 107.1 is the Tri-Cities' outlet for the Steve Harvey morning show and Michael Baisden's Love, Lust and Lies. Weekend programming includes Walt "Baby" Love's nationally syndicated Urban AC countdown show as well as Sunday gospel and smooth jazz programs.
