WEEU (830 AM) is a commercial radio station in Reading, Pennsylvania. It has a sports, news, and talk radio format and is owned by Treese Media Group, LLC, led by John and Kristine Treese.
WEEU is powered at 20,000 watts by day. Because AM 830 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A station WCCO in Minneapolis, WEEU must reduce power to 6,000 watts at night to avoid interference. It uses a six-tower array to create different directional signal patterns for daytime and nighttime. During the day, WEEU's signal is aimed toward the northwest and the southeast from its transmitter in Shartlesville, near Interstate 78.[2] During the evenings, WEEU's signal is directed toward the southeast, away from Minneapolis.
