When did WLS start using WONDERFUL WLS? They also were called "The Rock of Chicago" and "Musicradio" and for a brief time "More Music" (1969). What else were they noted as?
When they began playing R&R were they called "Wonderful"?

That was early on as a Top 40 in the first set of Kerr jingles.  They were later "The Station with Personality," "ABC Owned in Chicago," "The Big 89," "The Rock of Chicago," "Musicradio," "The Only One" (I believe after WCFL gave up the ghost, even if MET was on FM and WEFM was coming), "Chicago's Favorite," "The Rock of Chicago" again and "AM 89."

Their slogan before the format change was their owner (who was acquired by ABC)--"The Prairie Farmer Station."

"Wonderful WLS" slogan was used starting on May 2, 1960 when WLS began playing Top 40 music.
They used that for several years then went to "Personality" around 66 or 67.

"The Only One" (I believe after WCFL gave up the ghost, even if MET was on FM and WEFM was coming)

...and WIND was playing much harder rock tracks (Led Zeppelin, The Who, Aerosmith) than before...

Then two years later WIND was talk. Steve King hosted the last music show on WIND in 1978.

With the purshase of WLS do you think it will remain the current format?

AM yes, FM, I'm not so sure, but I hope so.

In the early '70s WIND moved from the oldies format (which actually was done well with interesting music choices) to more pop & rock.  Connie Szerszen did evenings when the music was heavier.  Here's an aircheck from that time:
