WMCL (1060 AM) is a radio station licensed to McLeansboro, Illinois, United States. Originally signed on in 1968 as a 250 watt daytime only station owned by Hamilton County Broadcasting, the station's power was increased to 2500 watts during daylight hours in 1980. WMCL's current owner is Dana Communications Corporation. A rare example of an AM station which uses both masts in daylight and sends the tiny night signal omnidrectionally through one mast.
1060 AM is a United States and Mexican clear-channel frequency, which requires WMCL to use a lower power after sunset.
On June 1, 2026, the station went off the air along with some of its sister stations as part of a reorganization effort by the owner.
