WNTD (950 AM) is a radio station licensed to Chicago, Illinois. It is owned by Relevant Radio, Inc., simulcasting a Catholic talk and teaching radio format with WKBM (930 AM) in Sandwich, Illinois.[4] The stations' programming comes from the Relevant Radio network.

By day, WNTD is powered at 1,000 watts non-directional. The daytime transmitter is on S. Western Avenue near 15th Street in Chicago.[5] At night, while increasing its power to 5,000 watts, it also switches to a separate transmitter using a directional antenna with a six-tower array. That tower site is off East 142nd Street near South Manistee Avenue in Burnham, Illinois.
