WCLK FM 91.9 is a radio station licensed to serve Atlanta, Georgia, United States, and serves the core area of metro Atlanta. It is owned and operated as a public radio station by Clark Atlanta University, playing mostly jazz. WCLK is also broadcast in HD radio.
It was granted a construction permit in early 2009 to downgrade its effective radiated power (the maximum in any direction) from 6 kW to 2.5 kW; however, this changed its footprint very little, reducing its range to the north and east by just a few kilometers or miles. Coverage to the south and west remains the same.
WCLK previously aired some NPR talk programming not heard on WABE FM 90.1, such as The Takeaway, due to WABE's formerly mostly classical music format, where little talk programming was aired aside from their HD-2 channel. This changed starting in 2014, when an involuntary takeover by Georgia Public Broadcasting forced Georgia State University's Album 88 off of its own station (except at night), in favor of duplicating most of WABE's NPR talk programming, after which WABE also switched to talk for most of the day like GPB, and WCLK dropped NPR talk shows.
WCLK collaborated with the city of Atlanta to create the Jazz of the City Atlanta portrait featuring over 100 jazz musicians surrounding Mayor Shirley Franklin in the Atlanta City Hall Atrium. The color photograph by Seve "Obasina" Adigun and Gregory Turner taken in April 2007 mirrors the iconic, classic, black-and-white image, A Great Day in Harlem 1958 by Art Kane.
