WNZK is a radio station in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, USA. It began broadcasting October 12th, 1985. It broadcasts in the AM radio band at 690 kHz during the daytime and at 680 kHz at night. WNZK is the only North American AM station to broadcast on two frequencies. WNZK carries ethnic programming, mainly targeted toward listeners of Arab and Eastern European descent, with some talk shows in English, including the long-running "Ask Your Neighbor" with Bob Allison (formerly aired on WWJ).
