WKYO (1360 AM) is a radio station licensed to Caro, Michigan broadcasting a full-service oldies format. In addition to pop and rock hits of the 1960s and 1970s, the station features a strong commitment to local news and information from around Caro and Tuscola County.

A longtime country music station, WKYO changed the music portion of its format from classic country to oldies in May 2008. Whereas the classic country format was satellite-fed (Jones Radio Networks' "Classic Hit Country," and previous to that, ABC Radio Networks' "Real Country"), the new oldies format is programmed locally. According to program director and air personality Brad Morgan, the station's music format shift was meant to fill a void created when WHNN 96.1 FM in the Bay City/Saginaw area shifted from traditional 1960s/'70s oldies to classic hits.
