WGTD (91.1 FM) is a non-commercial radio station licensed to Kenosha, Wisconsin, and serving Racine and eastern Walworth Counties along with Lake County, Illinois. Owned by Gateway Technical College, the station is affiliated with Wisconsin Public Radio. It airs the "WPR News" network, consisting of news and talk programming. WGTD occasionally breaks away from WPR to air local programming and Kenosha-focused newscasts.
WGTD is a Class A FM station. It has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 3,200 watts. Programming is also heard on two FM translators: 101.7 FM in Elkhorn and 103.3 FM in Lake Geneva. The parent station can be heard with local signal strength from Waukegan, Illinois, to the southern boarder of Milwaukee county. Translators provide coverage to most of southern Walworth county.
Until the realignment of WPR's networks on May 20, 2024, WGTD was part of WPR's "News and Classical Music" network. Classical music programming was moved to WGTD's HD3 channel, which carries the "WPR Music" network; "WPR Music" is also heard in part of WGTD's coverage area on its Milwaukee station, WHAD.[2]
