I hope they turn on the reverb like they use to use on the announcer's
mics back in the late 60's and 70's. It was the WLS sound!

I assume this is a takeoff on WABC's yearly rewound special.

See http://www.musicradio77.com (classic WABC tribute site)

Of ourse, another classic AM top 40 station, after a failed sports
talk format, is now broadcasting oldies 365/24 - 1050chum.com.

So. are we going to get to hear John "records" Landecker, Larry
Lujack, Fred Winston?? And will Brandt Miller take time off from
weather over at NBC to do a gig for LS again. Funny -- I can still
remember their line up -- but I'm missing one other jock, I think he
did mid-day early afternoon?? Does anyone remember the line up from
the 70's??

....or does anybody remember Dick Biondi? The (maybe apocryphal) story
that he got fired from WLS for saying "If women's skirts get any
shorter, they'll have one more place to shave and two more cheeks to
powder".

I've been listening off and on all day today. Of course, I am using
Audacity to save it on my computer so I can listen to it whenever I want.

In case anyone wonders, here's their schedule (all times CDT):
The Big 89 Rewind Special (5:00am-6:00am)
Larry Lujack with Tommy Edwards (6:00am-9:00am)
Fred Winston (9:00am-12:00noon)
Chris Shebel (12:00noon-3:00pm)
Jeff Davis (3:00pm-6:00pm)
John Records Landecker (6:00pm-10:00pm)
"TK" Tom Kent (10:00pm-12:00mid)

It's been a fun time so far!

I thought it at first said Big Red.There was a red headed woman who used
to work at the auto/truck battery factory (that old factory closed down
years ago) where I used to work in Florence,Mississippi.One time,Joyce
Creel said to me,,, Larry,go stick Red's monkey!

According to a promo item I heard earlier today on WLS, The Big 89 Rewind will
repeat in its entirety on 4 July.
