Greetings Nathan Obral,
There are a few issues with your edits on this page that want to address with you directly, rather than try and hash it out in edit summaries.
You changed the coords in the Infobox back to 41˚52'44"N, 87˚38'09"W. However, on the station's information page at the FCC website, the new NAD83 coords are listed as 41˚52'44.10"N, 87˚38'8.2"W. The only other coords listed are the old NAD27 coords (41°52'44.00"N, 87°38'08.00"W) and the NAD83 Tower coords (41˚52'44"N, 87˚38'8.0"W), so I don't see where you're getting the coords you added. Note that since the FCC has finally updated the coords for FM stations to the NAD83 coordinate system, we should be using those since they will map correctly on worldwide mapping services including Google Maps and Bing Maps.
Regarding your comment in the edit summary about the presence of the coords in the summary section: The coords you removed are the Tower coords, while the coords in the Infobox are the transmitter coords. While there is very little difference between them, note that they are not the same. That's why I added them and identified them as the location of the station's broadcast tower. I don't see a problem adding any content from the FCC.
I also take issue with the following wording in your edits in the summary: "the station serves the Chicago metropolitan area". The FCC is very specific as to the wording it uses regarding a community of license, which a station is licensed to serve. WLS-FM might claim that it serves the Chicago metropolitan area in its marketing, but that statement doesn't conform to FCC data. According to the FCC, WLS-FM is licensed to serve Chicago, not the Chicago metropolitan area. More information about this is available from the FCC here. I always use the FCC's wording if I'm editing the lede sentence, since that information is verifiable. In fact, the statement that the station serves the Chicago Metropolitan Area is unsourced, and as such it can be challenged and removed per WP:Verifiability.
I wanted to give you the opportunity to respond before I attempted to revert or otherwise change your edits, in the hope that we could avoid an edit war. I appreciate the edits you did in the History section. That section does need work.

(the station) is licensed to
Chicago,
Illinois [...] and serves the
Chicago metropolitan area
), if there's a more appropriate way to phrase the metropolitan area being serviced, I'm fine with it.
