WILB (1060 kHz) is an AM radio station in Canton, Ohio. It is owned by Living Bread Radio and it airs Catholic radio programming to the Canton, Akron and Cleveland areas. All shows are simulcast on co-owned 89.5 WILB-FM in Boardman.

WILB is a daytimer station. By day, it broadcasts with 15,000 watts. As 1060 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A station (KYW Philadelphia), to avoid interference, WILB only broadcasts during daytime hours. Programming is also available on FM translator W233CE at 94.5 FM. While 1060 AM can only broadcast during daylight hours, the FM translator provides 24-hour Catholic radio to the Canton area.
