POSITIVE CHANGES AT AM 1590 |
After years of hard work
by the Kovas family, their engineers, lawyers, and consultants... the
station has DOUBLED its power to 7,000 watts. This allows for the
station to cover a much larger area of Chicago and the surrounding
communities. Our signal now reaches millions and millions of people
throughout most of Chicagoland!
NEW CALL LETTERS
To celebrate the power increase, the new call letters for AM 1590 are now more reflective of the market we serve - WCGO.
Welcome to the new WCGO-AM 1590.
GOD BLESS FRANK KOVAS
The project of increasing the power and coverage area for AM 1590
began many years ago by the late Kovas Communications' patriarch, Frank
Kovas. Frank was a true Chicago radio icon and a genius in the radio
industry. Although Frank did not live to see his dream come true,
thanks to the incredible hard work of his wife Connie and her son (who
was considered by Frank to be his own son), Joe - and all the help from
engineer Dr. Jim White, Charley Hecht, the staff of AM 1590,
consultants AirTime Media (Tim Disa & Darrel Peters), the attorneys
and countless other people who made this project happen - it happened!
In honor of Frank Kovas, the power increase happened on April 12th,
2009 - which would have been Frank's 87th birthday! Somwhere up in
heaven, Frank is smiling down on his family and friends saying "good
work" - while he is telling off color jokes to the angels....
