WISN (1130 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It broadcasts a news/talk radio format and is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. The studios are on Howard Avenue in the Milwaukee suburb of Greenfield.
By day, WISN runs the maximum power for commercial AM stations, 50,000 watts. To protect other stations on 1130 AM, a clear channel frequency, it reduces power at night to 10,000 watts and uses a directional antenna at all times. Its nine-tower array is located at 21423 Bennett Road in Dover, off U.S. Route 41.[2] WISN is also heard on the HD 2 digital subchannel of sister station WRNW (97.3 FM).
WISN employs Jay Weber. On August 21, 2024, Weber used his platform on X to describe Gus Walz, a minor child with special needs and son of vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, as a "blubbering little bitch" because of his emotional response to his father's nomination at the Democratic National Convention.[3] WISN has made no comment in response to Weber's statement and continues to employ him.
