WLYK (102.7 FM, "102.7 The Lake") is a radio station in Cape Vincent, New York. The station airs an adult standards music format.

Although officially licensed to a community in the United States, the station primarily targets the larger neighboring Canadian market of Kingston, Ontario. The station is owned by Border International Broadcasting, but operates through a local marketing agreement from the studios of CIKR and CKXC in Kingston. It is rated as part of Nielsen BDS' Canadian Border Stations Airplay panel.

The callsign meaning on these stations: WBDR 102.7, WBDI 106.7 and 92.7 WBDB stood for "The Border", which was a CHR/Top 40 format as "The Border 102-7, 106-7", also simulcasted with 92.7 FM. Both 92.7 and 102.7 FM have since separated into other formats (in 2007 and 2004, respectively), leaving 106.7 FM as the only Border Top 40 station left.

The original on-air date of the radio station signal at 102.7 FM is currently unknown, however, the station went through various formats over the years from CHR as "The Border", country music as "KIX-FM", then to the current adult standards format as "The Lake".

In December, 2007 WBDR went to an all-Christmas music format until January 2, 2008, when the station switched to its current format. The Kix country music format moved to CKXC at the same time. On February 26, 2008 WBDR changed their call letters to WLYK.^[1]
