WDKE 96.1 FM, is a radio station broadcasting a classic country format. Licensed to Coleraine, Minnesota, United States, the station serves the Iron Range area. The station is currently owned by Midwest Communications, and features programming from Citadel Media.
In April 2012, 96.1 changed to "Z96 North Country", adding more New Country hits and no longer broadcasting Citadel's "Real Country" network. The station now directly competed with 99.9 Radio USA.
On January 1, 2017, as a result of a sale between Red Rock Radio and Midwest Communications (Midwest acquired KGPZ in the sale), 96.1 adjusted their format to classic country, as "96.1 Duke FM"; the sale essentially turns KGPZ from a rival to Radio USA into a flanker for it. On January 30, 2017 KGPZ changed their call letters to WDKE, to go with the "Duke FM" branding.
