WLS AM/FM SOLD

[Ultimajock]

I read recently that Lee Rogers (Former WIND Jock) was let go from a west coast station where he did mornings for several years. I recall in the late 60's
Chuck Benson/Kurt Russel did 6-10 AM, Lee Rogers 10-2 PM and Dale Ulmer 2-6 PM. I believe a sports show was on in the evening. 

The sports show that was on in the evening was hosted by a guy named "Berg". I can't remember his first name, but he later went to WGN. Was it Bill?

The name Bill Berg sounds familiar from WGN.  IIRC, he did afternoons there in the '70s.

Yes, and before WGN he hosted an evening sports show on WIND in the late 60s.

...Bill Berg also surfaced for a while at the Mutual-era WCFL, then resurfaced at WIND around '83 or so. I remember that on one of his later WIND shows Berg called the newly-religious 'CFL "Amen 1000" ;-) ...

When did Contact (828-9110) show begin? Was Dave Baum the original host? Clark Weber than hosted it right?

I think Dave Baum was the only host.  As some of you may know, "Contact" was the standard Group W title for topical talk shows on their radio and TV stations--in Philadelphia on KYW-TV the host was a guy named Tom Snyder.

Dave Baum left WIND for awhile & went to KMOX in St Louis. I think it was around that time that Clark Weber hosted evenings. Anyway after about a year or two Baum came back to WIND.

I believe Clark did mornings at WIND and Baum came back to do the Contact show. Didn't Clark do mornings twice at WIND?

Weber did do mornings at WIND, but there was a period of time where he was on at night.
I think it was sometime in the late 70s.

...for a while, they brought in Howard Miller to do Contact. Ed Schwartz later told the Sun-Times that he was the only person at the station who got along with Miller during that period; Miller was even picking arguments with Connie Szerszen during the last hour of her show!...

Shannon appears to be "Live" on WLS to combat WJMK. What do you think

He's probably voicetracked with a personal WLS touch.

How would you improve WLS FM?
