NEWS, TALK, USA
WMEQ is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Menomonie, Wisconsin, and serving the Eau Claire area. It broadcasts a talk radio format and is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. By day, WMEQ is powered at 5,000 watts. But 880 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WCBS New York City. So at night, WMEQ must reduce power to 210 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array to protect WCBS from interference at night. Programming is also heard on a 130 watt FM translator in Eau Claire, W292EG at 106.3 MHz.
Weekdays on WMEQ begin with two nationally syndicated Westwood One news magazine shows, "First Light with Michael Toscano" and "America in the Morning with John Trout." The rest of the schedule is mostly conservative talk shows from co-owned Premiere Networks: Glenn Beck, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton, Sean Hannity, Jesse Kelly, "Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis" and "Coast to Coast AM with George Noory."Radio's Website
