WSRB, known locally as Soul 106-3 is a Talk and Urban Adult Contemporary radio station in Chicago, licensed in the suburb of Lansing.

WSRB is the home to the syndicated Love, Lust and Lies with Michael Baisden. It was home to Steve Harvey in the mornings until August 1, 2007. On March 25, 2009, rival WVAZ dropped The Tom Joyner Morning Show in favor of Harvey's. But on April 22, 2009, WSRB brought Joyner back.

All Crawford Broadcasting Co. stations broadcast in High Definition digital (HD) radio, and all Crawford FM stations also broadcast on the second HD channel (HD-2).

Until June 2010, "Soul 106.3 FM" had a synchronous sister station, WYRB, airing on the same frequency and serving Rockford and DeKalb, Illinois. WYRB dropped out of the simulcast in June 2010 and adopted a standalone "Rhythmic" format under the name Power 106.3. Tom Joyner continues to air on Power 106.3.

On November 1, 2010, WSRB dropped its Urban AC format for Talk under the banner "Real Radio." Joyner and Baisden were retained under the new format due to their shows being less music and more talk, as they are joined by Dave Ramsey and Warren Ballentine throughout the day. The station will continue to play Adult R&B music, but during the late evenings and weekends.

In August 2011, WSRB dropped the name "Real Radio" and switched back to calling itself "Soul 106-3," but the programming remained unchanged. [1]
