WCPT-FM (92.5 FM) is a radio station located in DeKalb, Illinois, west of Chicago. WCPT-FM is partially simulcast with AM 820 WCPT. WCPT-FM airs the same Progressive Talk shows as WCPT from 5 AM - 9 PM, and operates a Dance Hits format at night known as Dance Factory FM. WCPT-FM is owned by Newsweb Corporation. Studios are located in Chicago's Northwest Side. The station's 20 thousand watt signal can be heard from Rockford, Illinois to Joliet, Illinois and includes most of the western suburbs of Chicago. ==History== The station was originally WLBK-FM and broadcast beautiful/easy listening music. The station was locally owned and operated in DeKalb with AM station WLBK (1360 AM) since its inception in the 1960s. Gradually in the 1970s, the station added a progressive program known as "Headquarters" at night beginning at 7:00 p.m. In January 1977, WLBK-FM became WDEK-FM. The station dropped its beautiful music format for an automated Top 40 format until 7:00 p.m. while continuing its "Headquarters" progressive rock format in the evenings, similar to Chicago's WXRT. In 1979, the station attracted John "Illinois' Bell from 'XRT to join as PD and morning host. Several jocks later migrated east to WXRT: Ed Knych, Richard Milne and Patty Martin, who was WXRT's Music Director. She then moved to WDRV, "The Drive", where she was Program Director. Other notable on-air personalities during this time - 1979-1984 - included Brian Leonard and Greg Easterling. In the fall of 1984, WDEK flipped to Top 40 full-time ("All Hit WDEK"), competing with Rockford's WZOK. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WCPT-FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
