WAIK (AM 1590) was a radio station licensed to Galesburg, Illinois, with studios in Monmouth, Illinois.[1] It went silent in January 2019 and its license was cancelled in June 2019.[1][2] At the time it closed, it was operating a full service format with oldies.[3]
The station signed on the air as WQUB[4] in 1957[5] as a sister station to WQUA in Moline.[6] The WQUB construction permit was issued on April 3, 1957,[4] and its first full license was granted on January 9, 1958.[4][7] It was bought by Creative Broadcasting Ltd. in 1975 and had the call sign WAIK by 1979 with a middle of the road music format.[5] WAIK broadcast Chicago White Sox Baseball, Chicago Bulls basketball, and featured programming from ABC Radio and Sporting News Radio.[8]
In October 2018, owner WPW sold WAIK's sister stations, 1330 WRAM and 97.7 WMOI, both licensed for Monmouth, to Robbins-Treat Resources, but didn't include WAIK in the sale,[3] instead taking WAIK off the air on January 14, 2019.[3] The station's license was surrendered to the Federal Communications Commission on February 5, 2019, but it was not cancelled until June 19, 2019.[2]
