WKTA (1330 kHz) is a commercial radio station broadcasting a Russian format weekdays 7 a.m.–7 p.m. and a Latin pop and reggaeton format weekdays 7 p.m.–7 a.m. and weekends full time. Licensed to Evanston, Illinois, the station serves the Chicago metropolitan area and is owned by Polnet Communications, Ltd.[5]
By day, WKTA transmits with 5,000 watts, but to protect other stations on 1330 AM from interference, it drops its power to 110 watts at night. It uses a directional antenna with a six-tower array.[6] Programming is also heard on 80-watt FM translator W240DE on 95.9 MHz.[7]
