WRLL (1690 AM) was an oldies station licenced to Berwyn, Illinois, and serving the greater Chicago area. It was owned and operated by Clear Channel Communications. On September 18, 2006, the station became the new frequency for WVON. The call letters are now warehoused on 1450AM, WVON's old frequency.

"Real Oldies 1690", as it called itself on the air, played music from the 1950s and early 1960s. It broadcasted from sister station WGRB's transmitter location. "Real Oldies" was also a format aired by WSAI (now sports/talk "1530 Homer" WCKY (AM))in Cincinnati and WCOL-AM(now progressive talk WTPG in Columbus, Ohio).

WRLL signed on as a station on the extended AM band in the fall of 2003. Until August 16, 2006 the station featured radio legends Larry Lujack and Tommy Edwardsin the morning drive, as well as other legendary Chicago area radio personalities, mostly from WLS.

The oldies format ended at 12:00 AM CST on September 16th 2006.

WRLL had long been the subject of format switch rumors. Some people thought that it would go off the air and be replaced by progressive talk, featuring programming from Air America Radio in March 2005, but the format instead was picked up by WCPT 850. During the month of August 2006, many of the station's on-air staffers left the station as they announced a pending format change.

Finally, on August 15, it was announced that another radio station, African-American talk-formatted WVON, would move its format, talk show hosts and call letters from their longtime spot on the dial at 1450 AM to 1690 AM, effective September 18, 2006. WVON signed an agreement with Clear Channel which would allow them to lease the station with an option to buy, and obtain marketing, promotional and production assistance from them as well.
