WJIM (1240 AM) is a radio station licensed to Lansing, Michigan broadcasting a news-talk format.

From the early 90s to the fall of 2005, WJIM branded itself as News/Talk 1240 WJIM. It now brands itself as Lansing's BIG Talker. However, little has changed, aside from the morning show. Prior to 2005, Chris Holman hosted the show; now Holman works at 1320 AM and "The Big Show" is hosted by Michael Patrick Shields.

The station broadcasts mainly conservative talk shows throughout the day. Featured programs include Glenn Beck, Paul Harvey, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage, and Coast to Coast AM. The station also broadcasts a show by First Gentleman Dan Mulhern on weekdays at 6 pm.
