  • WNZK is a radio station in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, United States. WNZK began broadcasting October 12, 1985, with the western Detroit suburb of Westland as its city of license; it switched to Dearborn Heights by 1990. According to the FCC online database, WNZK is the only AM radio station in North America on two frequencies: 690 kHz during the daytime and at 680 kHz at night. This is to protect the nighttime pattern of Montreal, Quebec's CKGM, a clear-channel station on 690. Owned by the Birach Broadcasting Corporation, WNZK carries ethnic programming, mainly targeted toward listeners of Arab and Eastern European descent, including both locally- and non-locally produced programming (such as news reports from the BBC World Service's Arabic service). WNZK also airs some talk shows in English, including the long-running "Ask Your Neighbor" with Bob Allison (which began on WWJ in the 1960s). With a transmitter power of 2500 watts, WNZK identifies as "The Station of the Nations." (97.9 FM in Detroit aired a similar ethnic format for many years with similar calls (WMZK) and the same "Station of the Nations" slogan until 1980; it is now WJLB.) (en)
