Clinton County Radio was an internet radio station serving Clinton county, Michigan from June 2004 until September 2007. The station programmed an Oldies format which was based upon the format previously programmed by local radio station WWSJ-AM 1580. The station was created by former WWSJ co-owner Steve Evans, who co-operated the station along with former WWSJ program director Dan Drolett. The mission of the station was to provide residents of Clinton county with programming and services which were no longer being offered by terrestrial radio stations. The station was accessible through the website [1].

Clinton County Radio offered, in addition to Oldies from the 1960's and 70's, local weather, daily programs from the U.S.D.A., hourly news from the FSN Radio Network (and later the USA Radio Network), nostalgic radio programs under the title Radio's Golden Days, and a locally produced program entitled The Michigan Oldies Podcast. Through the use of digital automation, the station was able to operate with little if any overhead expense. Initially, the majority of announcing on the station was handled by Evans and Drolett, but Mark Walton and Bryan Mix-Dean were added as staff announcers in 2006. Both provided their services on a volunteer basis. Unlike its terrestrial predecessor WWSJ, Clinton County Radio was a non-profit operation.

Dan Drolett announced the sale of the internet station and its assets to Tony Clark of Rosebush, Michigan in early September 2007. The station ceased operations as Clinton County Radio at midnight on September 30, 2007.
