Nationally, WLS and WCFL were tops in my book. The 70's radio war between
these two giants was awesome.
Later, I came to enjoy the "folksy-ness" of WOWO and Joe Donovan's Rock &
Roll Revival (probably the first onscure oldies show anywhere) overnights on
84 WHAS.
Locally, I miss Charleston, West Virginia's 95 WKAZ. Big time Top 40 radio
in a smaller market. Their crosstown battle with 1490 WXIT was simply a
local version of the WLS/WCFL duel, with both stations raising the bar in
the market and creating some really great radio.
