Feder: Changes on horizon for news/talk WLS 890-AM
Posted October 23, 2018 1:00 am
Now that classic hits WLS 94.7-FM is riding high in the ratings, and alternative rock WKQX 101.1-FM is looking up, Cumulus Media is finally zeroing in on its chronically underperforming AM station - news/talk WLS 890-AM, Robert Feder writes.
Plans are in the works for a major overhaul of the station's Monday-through-Friday lineup early next year under operations manager and program director Peter Bolger. Once among the top-rated stations in Chicago, the 50,000-watt AM giant never recovered after the loss of longtime morning star Don Wade, who died in 2013.
