WNKO (101.7 FM) is a radio station licensed to New Albany, Ohio with a classic hits format.

The station is locally owned and operated by the Runnymede Corporation. WNKO began operating in 1972 and is the sister station to WHTH.

The station had previously covered only the Newark, Ohio vicinity with 3,000 watts of power. In 2009, WNKO filed an application to change its city of license to New Albany, Ohio, change its transmitter location, and upgrade power. The move was tentative on WKSW (now WCLI-FM), formerly in Urbana, Ohio, completing a move into the Dayton market and switching frequencies from 101.7 to 101.5. Until such completion was made, WNKO could not otherwise move because its signal was limited with WKSW.
