WNGE (99.5 FM, "99.5 K-Rock") is a radio station licensed to Negaunee, Michigan, broadcasting an active rock format. The station first went on the air in July 2001. The station transmits its signal from an antenna with a height of 430 feet (130 m) with an effective radiated power of 3,600 watts located atop a hill in Marquette Township just west of the city of Marquette.
