==History==
The station began to operate in the 1950s as WEAW, a daytime-only adjunct to WEAW-FM. WEAW initially broadcast general popular music, local talk shows. By the early 1970s the station primarily aired brokered ethnic and religious programs. In the mid to late 70s WEAW aired an Adult contemporary format, before again airing brokered programming. By early 1979 the station had begun airing a Christian contemporary format as "Praise 1330".〔"(Stations, everywhere: a listeners' guide to the AM and FM bands )", ''Chicago Tribune Magazine'', March 4, 1979. Accessed January 1, 2014〕 The station's call sign was later changed to WPRZ. On July 14, 1979, WPRZ presented the Christian contemporary festival "Alleluia", which featured Chuck Girard.〔"'Alleluia' On Air", Billboard, June 30, 1979. p. 20〕 WPRZ broadcast a Christian contemporary format as for about one more year, until the station was taken off the air in September 1980,〔"('80 In Review )", ''Radio & Records'', Issue Number 362, December 12, 1980. Accessed August 11, 2015〕 when the owners of the station sold its transmitter site for development.
In late 1981, a new owner found a replacement site and brought the station back to the air, reviving the WEAW callsign and airing brokered religious programming and uptempo Christian contemporary music.〔(Religious Radio Wades To Mainstream To Pull Listeners To Its Message ) Zorn, Eric.

In 1989, WSSY began to program a hard rock and heavy metal format as "G-Force 1330",〔Seigenthaler, Katherine. "Heavy mettle - After a year on the air, the ear blasting 'G-Force' is a success". ''Chicago Tribune''. April 3, 1990〕 though brokered ethnic and religious programming continued to occupy much of the station's schedule.〔(WSSY AM 1330 ) ''Radio Chicago.'' Fall 1989. (p. 28) Accessed December 29, 2013.〕 In 1990 the station's call letters were changed to WKTA.〔 By January 1991, G-Force 1330 had ended, and the station again aired brokered ethnic and religious programming.〔(WKTA AM 1330 ) Radio Chicago.
