WCSJ is a radio station based in Morris, Illinois. It has been serving Grundy County since 1964. As of August 2006, the company was owned and operated by Nelson Multi Media, Inc.

The studios are located on Washington Street in downtown Morris with the FM transmitter located between Morris and Coal City. Previous studio locations include above the old downtown Hornsby's five and dime store on Liberty St. In 1977 the studios moved to the 3rd floor of the Baum Building and later to the Business and Technology Center on North Rt. 47 in Morris. For many years it shared a sister station: WRMI-FM which later became WCSJ-FM 104.7FM. WCSJ's current sister station is WJDK-FM, 95.7 with studios in the same building and a transmitter located between Kinsman and Seneca, Illinois.

Traditionally thought of as an AM station, WCSJ added 103.1FM to its original frequency of 1550AM in 2004 increasing its wattage from 250 watts (AM) to 6000 watts (FM).

WCSJ and WJDK are the only locally broadcasting stations in Grundy County. WCSJ broadcasts live, local programming seven day a week beginning at 5:00am Monday-Friday, 6:00am Saturday, and 7:00am on Sunday. Additional programming includes local news, high school sports, a weekly fishing and outdoor program, and NASCAR racing. A "Timeless Classics" music format completes a 24-hour broadcast day.
