Rex Kickass Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 So much good stuff in Chicago radio history. I still listen to Big 10 and Super CFL (pre my birth) as well as 1970s WLS on www.reelradio.com These guys were sooo good and my inspiration for what I do now. XRT 89 - 93, about the best on the block. Q101 93 - 97... when the morning show sucked, but was kept afloat by the rest of the day. They actually played stuff like the Pizzicato Five - even if you did have to deal with the Pumpkins and Live every 15 minutes. Z95 88-89. Even Hell 94.7 was good. But Randy Michaels (former Clear Channel Radio CEO) was a dumbass to blow the station up like he did. Jay Marvin on WLS 93-96. Best liberal talk show ever. And about the only listenable thing on WLS-FM when it was "Hot Talk" Who could forget the time Larry Lujack hijacked Steve and Garry in 85 or 86, I think, on WLS, just before it got blowed up. I'm actually enjoying WRLL 1690 "Real Oldies" when I blow through the occasional weekend. Not a huge fan of the music, but the jocks are sooo goood.
