Discover (and save!) [17][18] He later changed his last name to that of his football idol, Johnny Lujack. [3], Staggs' radio career began in Birmingham (on WYDE AM). Chickenman, which originated at WCFL, can also be heard. The upcoming Elvis Presley film Paradise, Hawaiian Style was teased with photographs taken on location. After selling no lots in the early part of the 1930s, the Federation put WCFL Park on hold, reviving it again in 1939 with the building of a model home on one of the lots, all of which would eventually be divested. [3] From there, it was on to Philadelphia (on WIBG),[3] San Francisco (on KYA),[4][5][6] and Milwaukee (on WOKY)[7] before his stint at KYW, Cleveland. The July issue of AUM was the magazine's final appearance, featuring a cover painting titled "Aquarius Theatre" by The Fool, a Dutch artist duo. Format changed to beautiful music at 7 p.m. [80], In May 2017, Biondi released a statement declaring his intention to return to air after reportedly recovering from a leg ailment for which he was hospitalized.
Away from the job, he was a golf enthusiast. Published in June, the cover photo showing Morrison later made this edition a collector's item.[26]. Remembering the best days of Top 40 radio! No changes to personnel and facilities in the near future are currently expected under the lease agreement,[130][131] though the station's morning schedule was adjusted in August 2020 due to the national network's large-scale schedule overhaul.[132].
Beginning in 1964 as a free album insert for fans of the Beach Boys, the magazine was sold separately in 1965 and it grew in popularity.
[2][19][48][68][69][70] Beginning in 1976, during his time at WNMB, Dick produced a syndicated program called, Dick Biondi's Super Gold Rock and Roll which was syndicated to about 60 radio stations. "Dick" Biondi (born 13 September 1932) is an American Top 40 and Oldies disc jockey. [22], Lujack died December 18, 2013 at a Santa Fe, New Mexico hospice of esophageal cancer. [14] WLS-AM and WLS-FM presented a 5-hour simulcast special from 7 PM to midnight, featuring memorable moments in his career and special celebrity guests, with Biondi as its host.
Biondi's playing a record on his show gave it maximum exposure to a very large listening audience; he was the most popular night time DJ in the Midwest.
[1] Several other radio stations were now also operating on the 620 kHz frequency along with WCFL and the Lane Tech station.
By 1930, commercials had become a reality on WCFL; the station did not show a profit until 1940.
[15][16][17][18], Biondi is an inductee of the National Radio Hall of Fame (Chicago).
WMVP dropped its all sports format at 6 a.m. on June 5, 1996, the day before the Chicago Bulls opened the NBA Finals against the Seattle SuperSonics, and returned to mostly simulcasting WLUP-FM.
Witz continued to make changes to the station during his tenure. [87], The comedy feature Chickenman, a satire based on the Batman TV series, originated on Jim Runyon's morning drive-time show in the fall of 1966.
Sims wrote exciting concert experiences and the daily routine of touring, sharing inside glimpses of the band.
[36] While the station itself was on the 16th floor of the Commercial Building (today the Hotel Chicago Downtown),[37] WCFL also had a "VIP Room" on the fifth floor where the "WCFL VIPs" (DJs) hosted various events such as record parties and autograph sessions for listeners who were members of the WCFL VIP Club. It may be just the absence of the old morality. Biondi has said "I'd like to die with my earphones on. Lujack retired initially in 1987,[7][8] shortly after his son John from his first marriage died in an accident.

WMVP is a Class A radio station, broadcasting at 50,000 watts, the maximum power for commercial AM stations. [14] The magazine geared up for a change from quarterly to monthly publication in 1966. At WCFL, the "Voice of Labor",[19] Staggs did the "afternoon drive" (the station's high-profile 3 to 6 pm slot) shift. [10][114][113] The call letters of the station were changed to WLUP, and its FM sister station became WLUP-FM. [9][10][11] In 1997, Lujack moved from Palatine, Illinois to the outskirts of Santa Fe, New Mexico and, in May 2000, began working again, for then-WUBT (WKSC-FM) in Chicago, via a remote Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) link from a New Mexico recording studio, teaming up with Matt McCann who was based in the Chicago studio.
[18] In 1976, when it became evident it was time for the Federation to sell the radio station, Federation President William A. Lee turned to his long-time friend, Mayor Daley, for advice.
"[98][99] By the time the station prepared to enter its "Beautiful Music" phase in early 1976, Witz had totally done away with WCFL's news department. But on September 27, 1993, WLUP-FM switched to a full-service talk/comedy format, while AM 1000 became all-sports. [12] The label told Billboard magazine that it was "the largest teen-oriented advertising-merchandising campaign in the history of CRDC [Capitol Records Distribution Company]. [30][33][34] There was a lot of fun at WLS; in response to the record, "There Was Fungus Among Us", Dick issued his listeners "Fungus Licenses". Until 2016, it was the flagship station of the Chicago Bulls of the NBA (now heard on WSCR). [8] On 2 May 2010, Dick Biondi celebrated the 50th anniversary of his first Chicago broadcast. [7][8][9][10][11] Later, while working at KRLA 1110 AM in Los Angeles, he introduced the Beatles and Rolling Stones at their Hollywood Bowl concerts.
