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.

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. :-)

You may know that WABC 770 in New York is apparently also doing similar programming
on Monday.

Here's the broadcast sked. Chuck Knapp is currently on, and other notables are doing
the news.

It's a great day!

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

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.
