WLDS (1180 AM) is a radio station licensed to Jacksonville, Illinois. The station airs a Talk radio format with local news, agricultural reports and sports. It is owned by Jacksonville Area Radio Broadcasters Inc.

By day, WLDS is powered at 300 watts. But because 1180 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for WHAM Rochester, New York, WLDS must reduce power at night to 2 watts to avoid interference.

WLDS signed on the air on December 9, 1941; 83 years ago (1941-12-09).
