Signal corps: What used to be Chicago Heights' WCGO-AM 1600 signed off Saturday, enabling the sister station formerly known as Evanston's WONX-AM 1590 to double its daytime signal to 7,000 watts as the new WCGO-AM 1590.

The new WCGO, which airs brokered ethnic programs, fulfills the ambition of Frank Kovas, a radio entrepreneur who died in 2005. Kovas' company acquired those stations and two others with a goal of combining their power into a single outlet with Federal Communications Commission approval.

"This move took years and millions of dollars to accomplish," Air Time Media's Tim Disa, spokesman for Kovas Communications, said by e-mail.
