WLKN (98.1 FM, "Lake 98.1") is a radio station serving the lakeshore cities of Sheboygan and Manitowoc/Two Rivers, Wisconsin, along with Manitowoc and Sheboygan Counties in general. The station is physically located in Cleveland, Wisconsin, their city of license, mid-way between the two areas. WLKN is owned by Seehafter Broadcasting.

WLKN has an adult contemporary format and is known as "Lake 98.1". Notable programming includes syndicated evening host Delilah, weekends with Tom Kent and the Sunday morning "Dave Koz Radio Show."

The station was formerly WKTT "Kat Country" prior to a format change in 2003, and had been at 103.1 before a frequency change in 1993 in conjunction with WWJR in Sheboygan from 97.9 to 93.7 to facilitate the launch of Kaukauna's WOGB on 103.1.

On October 9, 2009 after a sale from former owner Radio K-T, Inc., the station came under the ownership of Seehafter Broadcasting, a locally-run company based in Manitowoc which has owned WOMT (1240) and WQTC-FM (102.3) for years. The station decided to maintain WLKN's Cleveland offices, along with utilizing the station's web provider to create a more state-of-the-art website presence for the latter stations.
