WHAK-FM (99.9 FM, "The Wave") is a radio station licensed to Rogers City, Michigan. It serves the Alpena, Cheboygan and Mackinaw City areas. It broadcasts an oldies music format featuring hits of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The station has a local weekday-morning show and airs Dial Global's Kool Gold format the remainder of the time.
Prior to April 1999, the station broadcast a satellite-fed country format as "Eagle 100" (with the call sign WELG from 1994 to 1997). The move to the oldies format helped to fill a void in the Northeast Michigan radio scene left when 92.5 WAIR (now WFDX) switched from oldies to country music.
WHAK-FM is owned by Edwards Communications along with WHAK-AM 960, WHSB-FM 107.7 in Alpena, and WWTH-FM 100.7 in Oscoda.
