WCLK FM (91.9 MHz, sometimes called "Jazz 91.9") is a public radio station in Atlanta, Georgia that plays jazz. It is operated by the employees of Clark Atlanta University, and has Atlanta as its city of license. Although listed as a college radio station, the station is actually run by an older staff because of the jazz format and older audience. The station broadcasts with Effective Radiated Power of 6,000 Watts as authorized by the Federal Communications Commission from its broadcast tower near the Clark Atlanta University campus in downtown Atlanta.

This station is broadcasting in IBOC digital radio, using the HD Radio system from iBiquity.

It was the originating station of the former National Public Radio talk show PowerPoint, hosted by former Atlanta television newswoman Carmen Burns. In addition to some 60 terrestrial stations, it also aired on Sirius Satellite Radio.
