WHAK-FM (99.9 FM, "The Wave") is a radio station licensed to Rogers City, Michigan. It also serves the Alpena and Cheboygan areas. It broadcasts an oldies music format featuring hits of the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. The station is locally programmed during the day on weekdays and airs Jones Radio Networks' "Good Time Oldies" format the remainder of the time.

Prior to April 1999, the station broadcast a satellite-fed country format as "Eagle 100" (with the call sign WELG from 1994 to 1997). The move to the oldies format helped to fill a void in the Northeast Michigan radio scene left when 92.5 WAIR (now WFDX) switched from oldies to country music.

WHAK-FM is owned by Edwards Communications along with WHAK-AM 960, WHSB-FM 107.7 in Alpena, and WWTH-FM 100.7 in Oscoda.
