WLS, Chicago, Ill. just to name a few.
Another station I heard was in Salt Lake City, UT, but I can't remember the
station call but if memory serves me correctly, I listened to Larry King on
that station, but not sure.
But my favorite station at that time was WBZ Boston, I loved listening to
the Larry Glick show. Easy catch since I lived 136 miles north.

Ah, WBZ!! I listened to it at night regularly in the mid-1960's.
The DJ was named "Juicy" Brucie Bradley, and they had an ongoing
campaign to rename "sandwiches" to "Shrewsburys". They always premiered
new chart-climbers about 2-3 weeks before any of the stations in my area
(Detroit). It was an easy catch at night even on my
cigarette-pack-sized transistor radio.

You also mentioned WOWO in Fort Wayne. That was one I could get
daytime on the five-tube, if conditons were right. The excitement of
getting a station from *that far away!!* (yeah - it was all of 150 miles
:) is what hooked me on DX, which logically led to shortwave the
following year.
