CKDK, or The Hawk, is a radio station owned by Corus Entertainment and based in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada that transmits at 50,000 watts at 103.9 MHz on the FM dial. The station primarily plays classic rock music. Although based in Woodstock, the station primarily targets the larger London, Ontario market.

Popular shows include the McArthur In The Morning , Legends of Classic Rock, and Psychedelic Sundays. The station's slogan is "Classic Rock, 103.9 The Hawk". The Legends Of Classic Rock is syndicated from CILQ "Q107" in Toronto and is heard on all Corus-owned classic rock stations. Psychedelic Sundays is a local show, but was again an import from Q107.

The Hawk was previously an "alternative format", like FM96, but this was changed to a classic rock format on December 21, 1997. On January 12, 2000, CKDK and sister station CFHK 103.1 in St. Thomas, Ontario, swapped formats, but not call letters. CKDK had previously programmed an adult contemporary format as "K104." Prior to that, CKDK had broadcast on 102.3 FM, and previous to that, on AM 1340.
