WBEL (AM)

WBEL (1380 kHz) is a 1990s hits AM radio station in South Beloit, Illinois, with studios in Janesville, Wisconsin.

The station originally focused primarily on the local Beloit, Wisconsin, area, with an adult standards format and talk radio programming.

In January 2014, Good Karma announced that it would sell WTJK and sister station WWHG (105.9 FM) to Scott Thompson's Big Radio; as part of the deal, the new owners began operating the stations through a local marketing agreement on February 1.

In 2012, WTJK premiered The Prep Corner, a one-hour talk show on Saturday mornings looking back at the high school football action from Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin.

The show's launch coincided with The Prep Corner on the station's website, featuring stories, standings, previews and polls on the local high school football scene.
