Franken has just stated on the air that:

They are back in Chicago as of Thursday

On a horrible, suburban, daytime station that has limited coverage and does
not even go on the air till 7:30 AM in winter, and goes off by
mid-afternoon.

Excerpt from this article by Robert Feder, in the Sun-Times on May 3, 2005
(scroll down about halfway):

*In anticipation of a format switch under owner Newsweb Corp., WAIT-AM (850)
changes call letters today to WCPT (for "Chicago's Progressive Talk").
Picking up WAIT's call letters is Newsweb's WSCN-AM (820).
As tipped here in February, expect an announcement any day that the suburban
daytime station will become a showcase for the liberal voices of Air America
Radio's Al Franken, Jerry Springer and Randi Rhodes along with Jones Radio
Networks' Ed Schultz. "



They expect to start turning a profit later this year

Not likely.
