WTOU (1560 AM) was a radio station licensed to Portage, Michigan which last broadcast an urban adult contemporary format, provided by ABC Radio Networks (The Touch, or "Today's R&B and Old School"). Owned by Midwest Communications, the station served the greater Kalamazoo, Michigan area. Its license was cancelled January 5, 2021. WTOU was also heard in Portage/Kalamazoo on translator 95.5 W238AL. The translator was formerly used to relay country sister station WNWN-FM based in Battle Creek, but when another sister station, 96.5 WFAT, was switched to country music as WYZO, W238AL changed its programming source from WNWN-FM to the then-WNWN. W238AL was the third FM translator in Michigan to relay an AM station, after stations in Big Rapids and Charlevoix/Petoskey. The translator on 95.5 allowed "The Touch" programming to continue after WTOU signed off for the night. WTOU was previously a Top 40 station as WTPS in the 1960s, a country station as WBUK in the 1970s and 1980s (except for a brief period as an oldies station in 1981-1982), and a beautiful music station as WHEZ. On September 12, 2019, sister station WTOU (now WFAT) and W274AQ broke away from the simulcast and flipped to classic hits. On December 18, 2020, WTOU switched callsigns with AM 1660 WQLR, and signed off forever after playing the national anthem of the United States of America by the late Whitney Houston & The Florida Orchestra, and AM 1560's license was surrendered January 5, 2021. W238AL then began simulcasting with 1660, which subsequently took the WTOU call letters.
