About the station
WCPT broadcasts on AM medium wave 820 from Chicago and targets the metropolitan area of the third-largest city in the USA with its programming. The name refers to the “Progressive Talk” format: the focus is on conversations, news and commentary on politics, society and social issues from a progressive, that is, rather left-leaning and forward-looking perspective.
As a pure talk station, WCPT largely does without music. Instead, interviews, debates and listener contributions shape the daily schedule, with the voices of the presenters setting the tone. Anyone tuning in can expect above all engagement with current topics and political background, which, in competition with conservative talk formats on other frequencies in Chicago, takes a distinct stance.
