Listen to WILLAg on the Radio & Online.

Radio - Draw a north/south line from Champaign across the whole state of Illinois. If you live somewhere between 50 miles west of that line or a 100 miles east then you can likely hear the live broadcast. Those are (central time) at 8:55am, 10:58am, 12:58am, and 2:06pm daily. They include eighteen different commodity analysts weekly and six meteorologists specialized in agriculture.

Web - If you visit or webpage willag.org you’ll find much of that programming in full. The content is updated not long after it airs on the radio station and in the case of Commodity Week before it airs. You’ll find the daily Opening, Mid-Morning, Mid-Day, and Closing Marketing reports plus Commodity Week. If you look at the top of the page on your desktop (or in the hamburger tab on smartphones and tablets) you’ll find a way to listen to all of these live, too. Choose the WILL-AM Live live button.

Podcasts - Pick your favorite app and you will find the podcasts. Mostly just search for Closing Market Report (CMR) or Commodity Week (CW). Here are some direct links.
