La Mega 1290

La Mega 1290 is the on-air brand of WCHK, an AM station on 1290 kHz licensed to Canton, Georgia, that serves the Atlanta area in Spanish. It targets the local Latino community with Spanish-language music and programming. The stream is a 128 kbps MP3 feed of the station.

WCHK first went on the air on April 11, 1957, originally with country and southern gospel music and locally produced shows. It is now owned by Davis Broadcasting of Atlanta and is also heard on FM translators in the Canton and Winder area, which are promoted as La Mega 96.5 and 105.1. By day the AM signal runs at 10,000 watts, and at night it uses a directional pattern at lower power.

Listeners can expect Spanish-language presenters, Latin music and community-oriented content. Sources describe the format differently, some as Latin pop and others as Mexican regional music, and the exact schedule is not published in the sources reviewed, so check the station website for current programming.
