Opis

From its early days as the farmers companion to over a quarter century as the nations premier rock-and-roll station, WLS has touched the lives of millions of listeners. Many well-known celebrities, like Gene Autry, owe their careers to the Big 89, through the famous Saturday night program The National Barn Dance. Local personalities such as Dick Biondi, Larry Lujack, and John Records Landecker became household names thanks to Chicagos 50,000-watt blowtorch. The images in Chicagos WLS Radio scan the entire history of the station, featuring engaging hosts, the biggest stars, and lots of fun. The book also covers WLSs move in the 1990s to become a leader in the news and talk format.
