Gospel Opportunities Radio Network is a group of non-commercial FM radio stations based in Marquette, Michigan. Gospel Opportunities, Inc. was formed in 1975 to provide religious radio programming in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Its first station WHWL went on air in April 1976. WHWL is a Christian station that broadcasts Bible teaching programs and traditional, conservative music. Their station manager, Andy Larsen, has held the position since 2016 when he took over for the late Curt Marker. The station usually has 8-10 on-air radio personalities, highlighted by Kathy Kantola who hosts the children's storytime program Kathy's Kids Korner weekdays from 1:30 pm to 4 pm.
