Music stations also didn't hate news in those days.


Actually, they did, but by government edict, they had to do it.

Try to imagine "The Big 89" (WLS) without Lyle Dean.


The better stations elected to do news well, since not doing it was
not an option under the regulations then governing the industry. But
most of them were pretty much rip 'n' read operations with no real
staffing even then.
