I downloaded OTS Juke so I play radio on my computer, and I've got some WLS
jingles intermixed with my music. And since the program has an excellent
dynamic processor, I try to create the Big 89 sound as closely as possible.
I'm still in the tweaking stage (as I have been for over two years).

I don't stream my "station" or anything, just play it for my sake till my
wife makes me turn it down.

Truly cool! Yes, WLS had a sound that was
fatter than my Aunt Mary Kay, with a huge
bottom, to boot! I've visited the WLSHISTORY
webpage numerous times, and played the jingles
and listened to the airchecks, and, while I
was doing so, I realized that it isn't too
common to relieve *happy* memories, but I did.

When I listen to old airchecks of WLS, I relive
fishing with my late father, shoveling snow for
pocket money in those gloomy winters, going to
movies with my pals, and a couple of awkward
attempts at dating.

I hate to quote Carly Simon, but "these are the
good old days." Still, listening to airchecks of
WLS from ages past reminds me of how I came to
be who I am now.
