WPOK (93.7 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Pontiac, Illinois, in the Bloomington-Normal radio market. It is owned by Kent Casson's Casson Media and broadcasts a full service format featuring classic hits, calling itself "Route 24 Radio". The transmitter is on County Road 3200 North in Weston, Illinois.
WPOK-FM went on the air in 1969 as the FM sister station to WPOK (1080 AM). It became WJEZ in 1984, and by 1989 was a country music station. During the 2000s, it was WTRX-FM, playing classic rock and then oldies. In 2010, it became WJBC-FM, the FM simulcast to news/talk station WJBC (1230 AM); in 2014, the simulcast was replaced by the Nash Icon country network. Cumulus Media closed WJBC-FM in 2025 and sold it to Casson Media; in 2026, it retook the WPOK call sign and relaunched with the full service "Route 24 Radio" programming that Casson already operated as an Internet radio station.
