WMFN (640 AM, "Smooth Vibes") is a radio station broadcasting an Urban Adult Contemporary format. Licensed to Zeeland, Michigan, it first began broadcasting in 1990 under the WBMX call sign, and has been through a number of different formats and call signs since, including the Radio AAHS children's format, mainstream talk, and sports talk. During its sports talk days former NFL great Ray Bentley hosted his own afternoon program that focused on the local homosexual community.

For a time, the station also played adult standards (Westwood One's AM Only) at night as a continuation of daytimer sister station WMJH 810 AM's format. Since WMJH was known at the time as "Majic 810," WMFN's nighttime standards programming was called "Night Majic."

The station, owned by Birach Broadcasting, is recently leased to Tyrone Bynum, a controversial talk show host and deejay who hosts many of his programs on this station.
