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." According to the station's website, WIKB-AM has apparently dropped oldies in favor of adult standards.
