WSDZ is an AM radio station in Belleville, Illinois, located at 1260 kHz. The station began in 1947 as WIBV ("Belleville's Voice"). WIBV aired various types of music, and broadcasting a variety of high school sports into the Metro-East area for many years, until the mid-1990s, when it became an all-news/talk station, a fore-runner of KTRS. WIBV became WSDZ, when it transferred all of its programming over to KSD-AM, which became KTRS in early-1997. Since then, it has been the Radio Disney affiliate for the Greater St. Louis Metropolitan area.
