KNEK (1190 AM) was a radio station in Washington, Louisiana, United States, under ownership of Cumulus Media.

Because it shared the same frequency as clear-channel station XEWK-AM at Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, KNEK only operated during the daytime hours.

[5] Citadel Broadcasting acquired all of Citywide's stations in the Baton Rouge and Lafayette markets for $34 million in late 1998.

[6] In 2006, Citadel placed KNEK-FM in The Last Bastion Station Trust, LLC, upon its 2006 merger with ABC Radio.

Cumulus Media would surrender the KNEK license to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in March 2024.
