Yeah. But nowadays you can hear WLS almost all the way to O'Hare Airport.

I hear them good all day long here, and I'm about 100 miles from Chicago as the
crow flies. They come in good at night too.

Years back, they used to have a MUCH more powerful signal. It was pretty
disappointing the few times I visited a friend near O'Hare and found
WLS was weaker than stations from Milwaukee, Rockford, St. Louis and
South Bend... during the *daytime*. At night, most stations on the dial
were stronger.

It's just as powerful here as it has been for the last 40+ years that I can remember
listening to them. Never a problem.

50 kw, non-directional.
