WJQK-FM is a contemporary Christian music radio station in Zeeland, Michigan on a frequency of 99.3MHz.

Originally a country music station, its original call letters were WZND (which referred to city of license Zeeland, Michigan), until Lanser Broadcasting purchased the station and changed them to WJQK in January 1987. The studios were moved into the same Holland, Michigan building as sister station WWJQ-AM (now WPNW) but the transmitting tower remained in Zeeland along Interstate 196 near the 96th Avenue overpass until the early 1990s when it was moved three miles east to where 72nd Avenue would cross the highway.

During the 1980's and 1990's, the station (and its AM sister) promoted themselves as WJQ.

In 2001, the logo and nickname were changed to relect the new moniker "JQ 99 FM".

2005 saw the tagline of "Today's Best Christian Music" replaced by "Positive Hits" as well as the move of the business office and studio from Holland to Zeeland.

Lanser Broadcasting also owns WPNW. JQ99 is a sponsor of the annual Unity Christian Music Festival.

They have a satellite studio in Westshore Mall.
