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.


They can be hard to pick up at times. They're nearly 40 miles from here.
But thanks for the heads-up, if they play the right airchecks and clips
they could make a really good day of it. I grew up on WLS.


I'm about 90-100 miles across the lake from them and they come in pretty well 24 hours
a day.


I was told years ago that their grounding system went south somewhere along
the way, and they never bothered to fix it. I used to be able to null them
out with a DX-394 in Schiller Park (by ORD) by turning the radio just the
right way.
