WLDS (1180 AM) is a radio station licensed to Jacksonville, Illinois. The station airs a Talk radio format with local news, agricultural reports and sports. It is owned by Jacksonville Area Radio Broadcasters Inc.[4]

By day, WLDS is powered at 300 watts. But because 1180 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for WHAM Rochester, New York, WLDS must reduce power at night to 2 watts to avoid interference.

WLDS signed on the air on December 9, 1941; 83 years ago (1941-12-09).
