WCAZ (1510 kHz) is a farm/country formatted AM radio station, licensed to Carthage, Illinois.

[3][4] Effective November 30, 2015, WLRB and five sister stations were sold to Fletcher Ford's Virden Broadcasting Corporation at a purchase price of $725,000.

[2] On April 21, 2017, the license and call letters of the original WCAZ (AM 990) in Carthage were cancelled and the station deleted by the Federal Communications Commission, due to an unpaid fine, that had been levied a decade earlier for failure to file a timely license renewal application.

The new owners changed the station's call sign to WCAZ,[2] and flipped the format from talk to full-service classic country on the same day.

[7] Translator W226CH was also moved to Carthage, and in 2020 transferred to 99.1 MHz, resulting in a call sign change to W256DZ.
