WIKB (1230 AM) is a radio station broadcasting an adult standards format. Licensed to Iron River, Michigan, it first began broadcasting in 1949. The station's music format is satellite-fed from Dial Global ("Adult Standards," formerly "AM Only").

WIKB-AM had previously been a simulcast of WIKB-FM 99.1's oldies format until the stations were sold to Heartland Communications. Heartland continued the oldies format on AM 1230 while changing FM 99.1 to adult contemporary as "The Breeze." WIKB-AM soon dropped oldies in favor of adult standards.
