It serves the Rockford/Stateline area, using a two tower directional antenna system on Sandy Hollow Road.

[2][3] The station was assigned the call letters WRRR on December 24, 1953, which were changed to WXTA on September 23, 1982.

[4] The move came as RadioWorks consolidated the news and talk programming of the former WNTA (1150 AM) with WRRR's existing adult standards programming for nights and weekends; RadioWorks sought to operate one AM outlet and chose the superior 1330 facility with its better coverage of Rockford's east side.

[6] In April 2013, WNTA was sold to Mid-West Family Broadcasting along with its sister stations by Maverick Media.

It also airs Chicago Bears football,[8] as well as most games for the Northern Illinois Huskies and a locally produced weekly public affairs program on Sunday morning.
