A rock and roll talk show -- yes! I like their "dissections" of classic albums. I buy music based on what I hear on this show.

WGN Radio - Bill Cunningham is a disgrace to Chicago radio

I enjoyed walking by WGN Radio when we were in Chicago recently. They are located at the Tribune…read moreTower near Pioneer Court. Through the window, it was cool to see them broadcasting inside. Also nice that the show was broadcast to the outside of the building for all to hear. Nice photo opp for tourists like me.

What has happened with this station, while I do like Bob Sirott and John Williams, what is what…read morewith all the promos for Lisa Dent, or why does she has to say her name? And even she is tied with David Hochberg to be the 2 most annoying personalities on the station for local hosts. And even you start hearing his commercials where he asks David Jennings who his guests going to be. I hope the local personalities are enjoying show time while they can, as less than a month, Dave Eanet will be retuning with another season of Northwestern Football, then basketball once their season gets going, then Chicago Bears will return for another season, which meats the return of Hamp and O'B doing their pre and post game shows, and once Chicago Blackhawks start their season, plus they will be picking up Chicago White Sox's games when they come in conflict with the Chicago Bears games. And then picking up The Verdict with Ted Cruz, is WLS AM or The Answer too busy to be the Chicago radio affiliate for the show on Sunday nights to air it? Ted Cruz has to be spreading Republican lies, and making Donald Trump sound like the greatest thing since sliced bread.

So, this review is mostly for the Waddle and Silvy show, but as a whole, I love this radio station…read more- well, the local shows and hosts anyway. But that's my one problem with this station...there aren't enough local shows! I much prefer the local personalities on this radio station as compared to those on another local sports talk radio station. However, I'm forced to listen to the other said station in the evenings and on the weekends, because ESPN airs mostly national shows during these times! It's sad because I love ESPN local radio. My exceptions to this are Bruce Levine, Fred Huebner, and Mike Murphy. Bruce is so far up the Cubs @ss, it's not even funny. I can't listen to a word he says. Fred is just annoying to listen to because I don't feel like he knows very much and Mike Murphy...where do I start with this one? I'm not sure who made the decision to put him back on the radio, but he/she needs to be fired - IMMEDIATELY! So, back to what I love about this station...Waddle and Silvy! I heart them. They get me through my day at work and make me laugh out loud many times a day. I'm pretty sure the people that sit near me at work think I'm completely nuts, but I'm okay with it. I'm not sure what I'd do without them! My employer does not allow web streaming and I can't get the AM radio to come in in the Loop so I'm relegated to the podcast, which means I'm listening to Monday's show on Tuesday (and so on), which is annoying, but I need my fix so I'll take it any way I can get it. And then there's CJH...I like this group, but I don't download their podcasts. If I can catch them on the radio now and then, I'm good. I will say, Carmen is a marked improvement over Mac. He was a pompous @ss and I'm glad he's gone! Jurko is my favorite - he cracks me up. I don't always agree with his thoughts, but he's funny as hell. I also really like JD, Hood and most of the reporters. I just wish this station had more local programming in the evenings and on the weekends! I'm forced to go elsewhere during these times and I'm not happy about it.

SUCKS!!! Stops the Chicago Bears game online broadcast to put on White Sox pregame. Should have…read moreleft it on AM780

Radio Stations change. If you don't believe me- just go back…read moreto watching reruns of Loni Anderson and WKRP in Cincinnati, the episode that has 4 old OLD old people protest in studio to change back to easy morgue music. I grew up too at a time when music was King in Chicago, the age of stations like Q101, B96 and the new era of shook jocks like Man Cow in the Morning. I am so glad that I was a teacher in Cicero and listened to him on the way to work- talking explicitly about poop-cicles before having to teach makes things in perspective like no other. So when people give negative comments- I just don't get it. You are not 17 any more growing up locked in your room grounded, there is this thing called the internet, SerousXM radio, CD players, Ipods and a ton of other toys to listen to exactly what you want when you want it if you drive, walk or commute. Performance Corner I am really happy that stations now have the ability and means to give great performances through the net offered by their stations. Performance Corner is a chance for me to hear and now even see what was filmed live. I can see my friends or friends of my friends that have now bands that are on the tour scene in Chicago. Even though I am in Honolulu - I'm able to view shows that really interest me. I remember having to stay up way too late one night in High School to hear DJ Russ Harris (a friend) first battle on the DJ mix off competitions and then preform his sets live on air. I had to stay up til like 3 am or something for some but it was crazy cool to me to do that.... NOW all I would have to do is stream at 3 pm in the lazy afternoon or whenever I wanted to repeatedly cause it is on-line. I'm able to see bands play in the Performance Corner and watch them anywhere. When I am back in Chicago I scan and listen to the old radio stations that I used to listen to- and guess what? DJ have changed, radio station formats have changed, things change. I get that. Was it as good as when the station first started? No! But that doesn't mean that they aren't doing their thing. They seem to have more contests. Hey I'm up to try to win tickets- well that is how they try to get listeners and loyal listeners. They do this or that contest and try to get listeners. Myself- I want to hear a good mix of music played, I'm rare and will seek out a station that I like and listen on the internet occasionally. Others know that people are picky, so they do what they think best. No, I don't like Eric and Kathy, but hey I'm not a daily listener as I said. I like many other younger/ savey listeners are listening more targeted and specifically for a specific reason, it may be different for each real listener. Internet has changed much in the industry and I do not fault stations. I do wish they were caught in a perfect time bubble that I could listen to and remember simpler times whenever I needed to and a dj that could relate to me perfectly- I also know that is not grounded in reality. Til then, I pick and choose those that I like and enjoy the Performance Corner especially cause I know friends or friends of friends on it.

They play the same 10-20 song all day long. I like Bruno Mars but not all day . Please change your…read moreplaylist. I could set my clock by the song.
