WOCK-CA is the Azteca América affiliate for Chicago, Illinois in the United States. It is owned by KM Communications, and broadcasts on VHF channel 13. It is a sister station to ethnic WOCH-CA.
The station was originally assigned the translator call sign of W13BE; it changed to WOCK-LP in 1994 and received class-A status in 2000.
Formerly an over-the-air MTV2 station, it was an affiliate of The Box until that network's acquisition by Viacom in 2001. It became an affiliate of Florida based Videomix which aired hip hop videos during the mid summer 2001 until fall 2001. In fall 2001, it began broadcasting programs from China Central Television (CCTV International CCTV-4 and CCTV-9), provided by China Star TV, and now broadcasts programming from Azteca América.
The station broadcasts with an extremely directional antenna, which points north and southwest, and this leaves out the highly populated NW side of Chicago as well as the northwest suburbs.
