What happens when you take some really BIG country stars, play them in really BIG 20-in-a-row music sets, and put them on a really, REALLY BIG FM station???
You get 20-in-a-row country, 96.5 The Wolf!
Superstars like Kenny Chesney, Sugarland, Trace Adkins and Dierks Bentley...all in long 20-in-a-row music sets.
For over sixty years, AM 1220 WLPO has been serving listeners in the Illinois Valley. The station went on the air as a 250-watt non-directional daytime station and later increased to a 1000-watt directional daytime and 500-watt nighttime station. Because our station’s power is directional, listeners in some communities may not be able to pick up its signal as well after dark and prior to sunrise. As a news/talk station, WLPO’s focus is on topics that affect all of us (healthcare, money, etc) plus the most complete local news, sports, weather and talk.
Hot AC WAJK first aired as WLPO-FM in December 1964 as a 1000-watt monaural FM station. In 1979 the call letters were changed to WAJK. The station broadcasts in stereo and is a Class B1 FM signal. Start with Jon Shap (5:30-9a); then it's a 93-minute block of music to start your workday; spend your weekdays with Clare from 10:30-3 and drive home with JC Phillips from 3-7. Billy Bush rounds out your day at 7pm.
Peter Miller is president of the stations, Joyce McCullough general manager, Mark Lippert sales manager and John Spencer serves as program director for all three stations. LaSalle County Broadcasting Corp. is the licensee of WLPO, WAJK and WKOT.
If you have questions or suggestions, please contact Joyce or John at 815-223-3100.
The stations take pride in serving listeners in the Illinois Valley. LaSalle County Broadcasting Corp is an equal opportunity employer.
