WXYT (1270 AM) — branded CBS Sports Radio 1270 — is a commercial radio station licensed to Detroit, Michigan broadcasting a sports talk format. The station serves the Detroit-Windsor market and the Southeastern Michigan And Southwestern Ontario areas. Its transmitter is in Monroe County at Ash Township and operations and studios are at CBS Radio's facilities in Southfield, Michigan.

On September 12, 2011, the station switched from simulcasting sister station WXYT-FM to a mostly talk format — but with frequent preemptions of talk shows to air college and professional games — featuring a local host as well as the syndicated talk shows of Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck, Todd Schnitt, and Rusty Humphries. It is one of three spoken word stations in CBS' Detroit radio cluster, alongside sports talk WXYT-FM and all news WWJ. The station changed to a sports talk format on January 2, 2013.

The station is owned by CBS Radio Inc. Previously, this station was known as WXYZ, an ABC Radio-owned radio station from 1946 until 1984.
