Another station I would like to see comeback would be AM 1570 WBEE in Harvey, from a few years back. At that time
they were "classy blues and jazz", from 5 AM to 9 PM, and brokered religious programming at night. They played
everything from Miles Davis to Frank Sinatra. They had very few commercial's(which unfortunately is the reason
the station was sold), just long set's of music with host's that really loved the music they were playing. They were
not afraid to play a song that was 12 or 13 minutes long. It was run out of building the size of a garage at 157th
and Campbell on the border of Harvey and Markham. They still transmit from there, but have moved the studio
to somewhere on the southside of Chicago. They run all religious programming and Gospel music now.
Yeah, WBEE was AWESOME! They played REAL jazz, not that elevator music "new age" yuppie crap WNUA played.
Have you checked out WNTD between 6PM and 5AM? They've gone to a format that I understand mildly resembles that of the old WBEE. It uses the handle "Avenue950 and the website is:
