WCHE (1520 AM, "WCHE 1520AM") is a commercial AM radio station licensed to serve West Chester, Pennsylvania. The station is owned by Jay Shur through licensee Chester County Radio, Inc. and airs a talk radio format.
WCHE powered by 1,000 watts is licensed as a daytimer AM, permitted to transmit from sunrise to sunset. This requires the station to be off the air during the nighttime hours because it interferes with the same frequency as clear-channel station WWKB in Buffalo, New York. Its programming is also heard on 215-watt FM translator W237EW at 95.3 MHz.
