or animosity.

My memory is that it was Buzz and Wendy and then CKG got Dahl and put him into that shift, making it the Steve Dahl Show With Buzz And Wendy. My dad stopped having it on in the car because he said he had gotten tired of Steve Dahl (wow, even then). I don't remember Bill Leff in there, but no one remembers Bill Leff anywhere.

Funny part about that is that in Dahl's bitter exit from WLS a year ago he claimed he was told the station was going to move towards sounding like WGN with the Sox amid general talk shows, instead of being WGOP, when he signed there.

You need to re-read your signature... I don't see this one. (Wendy is on the left)

In that picture, she looks like she smells like smoke and has a basement hair cutting and coloring 'business'.

Treading water until Rush goes to the big Dominican Republic in the sky and 890 suddenly has three hours to fill.

Yeah, even by the established standards of Boomers being up their own asses with nostalgia like no generation before or since, it's something.

Or that awful "Bozo, Gar and Ray" special WGN's been playing at this time of year for so long they might have Dean Richards host a retrospective on the airings of it soon. He waxes nostalgic about Rayner, Bozo, Garfield Goose and those horrible Christmas cartoons, then it's "Bob Bell retired, Joey D'auria replaced him, he sucked and got the show canceled, the end".

I think Bill is geniunely clever and a pretty good host. Wendy is terrible. She has a voice that is both whiny and mopey and the same time. I suspect the only reason she stayed employed at WGN this long is because Robin Baumgarten had something in her contract saying she can't be the dumbest person at the station.

Anyone know if Nick Digilio is rumored to return to radio or start a podcast.

Better yet, anyone know if Nick Digilio is rumored to have formulated a cogent thought in the past two decades?

This didnt get its due earlier in the thread

Feder's post today was about Bill Leff being the host of MeTV's new morning cartoon block, with the general manager really talking up "Toony the Tuna," Leff's puppet sidekick. Even has to share billing with a puppet. But what really caught my eye was that he was talking about what an honor it'll be to host the cartoon block because he grew up watching Ray Rayner in the morning. Now I know that MeTV is television for the dying, but it's almost 2021; how do we still have television personalities talking about how they grew up watching Ray Rayner? As the rising seas swallow the land, the last words uttered on Chicago television will be "this was such an honor for someone who fell in love with WGN by watching Lunchtime Little Theater."

I was surprised Ike Reilly wrote a lyric about Hardrock, Coco, and Joe. I'm pretty sure that's from the early 50s. It was old when I was a kid.

The article said the target audience was Boomers 35 and older.

Brick is a Boomer 35 and older. (Not like I should talk, I'm over in the music thread arguing about the Go-Betweens.)

Scrolling through the METV schedule, and there is nothing newer than 1975. Most shoes are from the 50s and 60s. This station appeals the nostalgia of current TV Guide subscribers who have the nurse change the channel for them.

MeTV shows too many westerns, but I feel that one western is too many.
