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 WPR's "NPR News and Classical Network", consisting of classical music as well as news and talk programming. Classical 24 is heard overnight. 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.
HD Radio
WGTD 91.1 FM offers two additional digital subchannels on HD Radio
- HD3: Community Radio, extended local programming, old-time radio shows and content from the station's radio reading service subcarrier.[1]
Translators
WGTD is relayed by two additional FM translator stations to serve western Racine and Kenosha, and the Geneva Lake region of Walworth County. Currently these translators offer only analog service, with no HD Radio subchannels. In 2024, the Elkhorn translator changed locations from an old municipal tower near Elkhorn's town square to taller municipal tower near the Walworth County Courthouse.
