WJNL (1210 AM) is a radio station licensed to Kingsley, Michigan, and serving the Traverse City area.
The station began broadcasting April 17, 1947, holding the call sign WKNX, and was licensed to Saginaw, Michigan.
[17] Bell Broadcasting intended to take the station off the air so that 1200 WCHB in Detroit could increase power.
[6][24] In 2007, Fort Bend Broadcasting exchanged the station for 750 WWKK in Petoskey, Michigan and $244,000 in cash, with Stone Communications taking ownership of 1210 WLDR.
[28] On March 31, 2023, WJNL went silent, due the end of an LMA between Blarney Stone Broadcasting and Mitten News.
[29] On October 18, 2023, WJNL returned to air, initially by stunting with music by Grateful Dead.
