WEDC was an AM radio station that operated on 1240 kHz in the Chicago market. It shared this frequency with WCRW and WSBC. The three stations operated as "shared-time stations" for most of their existence, a not uncommon arrangement in the early days of radio, but very rare in later years.[1] They were also foreign language stations, catering to "niche markets". WEDC and WCRW are now off the air, with WSBC remaining.

The format of WEDC had mostly been foreign language programming, mainly Polish and Spanish.
