WLES (590 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Bon Air, Virginia, serving the Greater Richmond Region. WLES is owned and operated by Chesapeake-Portsmouth Broadcasting Corporation.[1] It airs a Christian radio format, as part of "The Truth Network."

This station was once licensed to Lawrenceville, near the Virginia-North Carolina border.[2] It had been a daytimer station on AM 580, with an oldies format.[3] The station moved to the suburbs of Richmond to serve that larger radio market, now at AM 590 with authorization to broadcast around the clock. Programming is also heard on FM translator station W300DK at 107.9 MHz.

Technical Information

Chesapeake-Portsmouth Broadcasting filed a request in July 2007 to transfer the license of WLES to Truth Broadcasting, headed by her son Stu Epperson, Jr.,[4] but withdrew the request in August, 2007.[5]

Subsequently, a construction permit request was filed to conduct a frequency swap with nearby station WLVA, which is owned by Truth Broadcasting and operates on the adjacent AM channel of 590 kHz.[6] The swap was completed in 2011. The station was issued a license to operate on the 590 kHz frequency on March 28, 2014.

Translator

In addition to the main station, WLES is relayed by an FM translator to widen its broadcast area.[7]
