WCKG (1530 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Elmhurst, Illinois, and serving the Chicago metropolitan area. It broadcasts a sports radio format and is owned by DuPage Radio, LLC.[2] WCKG is a Fox Sports Radio Network affiliate. It also carries the nationally syndicated Ramsey Show with Dave Ramsey and some brokered programming.
WCKG is powered at 760 watts and is a daytimer station. Because 1530 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations WCKY Cincinnati and KFBK Sacramento, WCKG uses a directional antenna and must go off the air at sunset to avoid interference. The transmitter is on Harvard Street in Elmhurst, between Interstate 88 and Interstate 294.[3] Programming is heard around the clock on 90-watt FM translator W272DQ at 102.3 MHz in Elmhurst.[4]
