WNIC (100.3 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Dearborn, Michigan and serving the Metro Detroit media market. Owned by iHeartMedia, WNIC broadcasts an adult contemporary radio format. Each year, between mid-November and December 25, WNIC switches its format to all-Christmas music, like many AC stations do.

WNIC's studios and offices are located in Farmington Hills. WNIC's transmitter is located near Schoolcraft Avenue and Turner Street in the City of Detroit on the Near West Side. WNIC broadcasts with an effective radiated power of 32,000 watts from an antenna 600 feet in height. WNIC is licensed for HD Radio operation and features a soft AC/oldies format on its HD2 channel from iHeartRadio's "Sunny Radio" channel.

WNIC signed on the air in December 1946 as WKMH-FM, sister station to 1310 WKMH (now WDTW). Both stations were, and still are, licensed to Dearborn. With FM radio still in its early stages, the two stations largely simulcast their programming through the 1970s.
