WSRB, known locally as Soul 106-3 is an Urban Adult Contemporary radio station in Chicago, licensed to the Southland suburb of Lansing and transmitting within that city from a tower along the north side of the Kingery Expressway. Its studios are in Hammond, Indiana.
WSRB was the home to the syndicated Love, Lust and Lies with Michael Baisden. It was also the home to the Steve Harvey morning show until August 1, 2007. On March 25, 2009, rival WVAZ dropped The Tom Joyner Morning Show in favor of Harvey's. But on April 22, 2009, WSRB brought Joyner back.
WSRB broadcasts in the HD Radio format.
106.3 FM began broadcasting in 1961 as WLNR, which stood for "West Lansing Near Railroad". The station aired a full service format playing Middle of the road (MOR) music, including Pop Standards and Easy listening. In the 1970s, talk programming would begin to occupy more of the station's schedule, with religious programming airing in overnights. From 1973 to 1985, the station was home to the Warren Freiberg - Libby Collins Show, which would later be heard on WCGO in Chicago Heights, Illinois and WTAS in Crete, Illinois. The Station was purchased by Johnson Publishing Company in 1985. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the station aired a Soft urban contemporary format, which was simulcast on its sister station AM 950 WJPC.
