The Big 89’s Back On Saturday!
• On Saturday night, July 26, from 10pm until midnight CT, “The Big 89” lives again, as WLS-AM 890/Chicago proudly presents WLS Unwound: Personalities of the MusicRadio Years. Here’s a cool promo to tell you all about it.
In what promises to be “the fastest two hours on radio,” an array of iconic air personalities from those legendary days of Top 40 Radio will gather at the station’s Chicago lakefront studios to talk about the glory days of when WLS was the Midwest powerhouse for hits and known as “The Rock of Chicago!”
Scheduled to appear: Tommy Edwards, Chuck Knapp, Catherine Johns, Chuck Buell, Jim Kerr, and other surprise guests who just may happen to drop by. This exciting radio event will be hosted by WLS historian Scott Childers, who literally wrote the book on this legendary radio station. Lots of great audio clips will also be included.
Naturally, “Radio’s Best Friend,” Art Vuolo will be archiving the show on video, while Ted Gorden Smucker, Bill Shannon, Tim Larson, Travis Bravo and Kipper McGee make it all work in harmony.
It’s all happening on WLS-AM 890 Saturday night at 10pm CT /11pm ET / 8pm PT. As a special bonus for you out-of-towners, WLS is also available online (with no pesky atmospheric static or inconsistent sky-wave fade) at wlsam.com.
