WAIK (AM 1590) was a radio station licensed to Galesburg, Illinois, with studios in Monmouth, Illinois.[4] It went silent in January 2019 and its license was cancelled in June 2019.[4][5] At the time it closed, it was operating a full service format with oldies.[6]

The station signed on the air as WQUB[3] in 1957[2] as a sister station to WQUA in Moline.[7] The WQUB construction permit was issued on April 3, 1957,[3] and its first full license was granted on January 9, 1958.[3][8] It was bought by Creative Broadcasting Ltd. in 1975 and had the call sign WAIK by 1979 with a middle of the road music format.[2] WAIK broadcast Chicago White Sox Baseball, Chicago Bulls basketball, and featured programming from ABC Radio and Sporting News Radio.[9]

In October 2018, owner WPW sold WAIK's sister stations, 1330 WRAM and 97.7 WMOI, both licensed for Monmouth, to Robbins-Treat Resources, but didn't include WAIK in the sale,[6] instead taking WAIK off the air on January 14, 2019.[6] The station's license was surrendered to the Federal Communications Commission on February 5, 2019, but it was not cancelled until June 19, 2019.[5]
