WNTD is an AM radio station in Chicago, Illinois. It is owned by Multicultural Broadcasting and has a multiethnic time brokerage format. Its frequency is 950 AM.

WNTD was the original affiliate of Air America Radio in Chicago. Program hosts included Al Franken, Randi Rhodes, and Janeane Garofalo. The new network launched on March 31, 2004. However, these programs ended after one month, on April 14, due to a payment dispute between Multicultural and Air America Radio. The network is now heard on WCPT AM 850, but only during daylight hours.

Before its brief run as a liberal talk radio station, WNTD was a One-on-One Sports (now Sporting News Radio) affiliate, at first as WZDB but soon changed to WIDB. One-On-One was headquartered in suburban Northbrook.

Earlier incarnations of this station include WGRT ("W-GREAT"), owned by Ralph Atlass, founder of WBBM, and one-time owner of WIND; WJPC, owned by Johnson Publishing Company; and WEJM ("Jammin'").

Prior to WGRT, for 20 years the call letters were WAAF, a daytime only station with an all jazz format. It featured Marty Faye in the early morning, Daddio Daylie in the late morning, olympic great Jesse Owens playing jazz from noon-3, and Jerry Leighton from 3 til sunset.
