Today marks the end of an era for WCUB Radio listeners. One of the three beloved ways to tune in is going silent—and it’s happening right now. If you’re a fan of the AM 980 frequency, here’s what you need to know: starting at 9:00 a.m. on November 4, 2025, the towers on Viebahn Street in Manitowoc will undergo essential maintenance, forcing the AM signal to go off the air. But here’s the silver lining: you won’t miss a beat. Listeners can still catch their favorite shows on the FM frequency at 97.1 FM or stream live online at CubRadio.com. And this is the part most people miss—the AM signal will briefly return later today before shutting down again at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday. Is this the beginning of the end for AM radio, or just a temporary pause? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—this could spark a debate about the future of traditional broadcasting in an increasingly digital world.
