Default Big 89 Rewind

WLS came in loud and clear on winter nights in North-western Ontario in the
early '60s, along with that powerhouse, WWVA.

WLS would like to invite all listeners to 890AM or WLSAM.com on Monday,
May 26th
(Memorial Day) for the 2nd Annual BIG 89 REWIND radio special. ALL DAY
LONG, WLS
goes retroactive...back to the days when it was the nation's music leader,
The
Rock of Chicago. Hear Chicago's most legendary DJ's LIVE from 5AM -
Midnight on
Memorial Day! This will be a true historic day in Chicago radio.

Thanks for this. I first got into radio as a hobby when I was about
eight years old chasing clear-channel AM broadcasters. WLS in Chicago
was one of my earliest catches, along with stations like WBZ in
Boston, KDKA in Pittsburgh, KMOX in St. Louis, and, well...just brings
back pleasant memories. These days, I mainly chase utility stations,
but I think I'll take a day off from that on Monday night for a bit of
nostalgic tuning around on MW. :-)
