**WLCS** (98.3 [FM](/source/FM_broadcasting), "Classic Hits 98.3 WLCS") is a radio station broadcasting a [classic hits](/source/Classic_hits) format. Licensed to [North Muskegon, Michigan](/source/North_Muskegon%2C_Michigan), it first began broadcasting under the WFMM call sign. The station is owned by [Cumulus Media](/source/Cumulus_Media).

Despite its relatively modest 1,600-watt ERP, WLCS provides at least secondary coverage as far north as [New Era](/source/New_Era%2C_Michigan) and as far south as [Grand Haven](/source/Grand_Haven%2C_Michigan) and [Allendale](/source/Allendale%2C_Michigan). It trades heavily on its Lakeshore-centric identity; for instance, it airs bumpers touting numerous cities in its coverage area.

The station is the Muskegon affiliate for [Grand Valley State Lakers](/source/Grand_Valley_State_Lakers) football and basketball. It also airs high school football in the fall and high school basketball during the winter.
