"You can pick up Chicago?" (Loved the Rock of Chicago." Music-Radio, not so much. But that's me.}
I HATED 3RD. Lousy sleep. But, that was me. My mom (RIP) worked 3rd. Hated her bosses, as they were top heavy on 1st. My dad (RIP club, too) was 1st. Knew of many who loved 3rd. Just less pressure, I guess, and you had the whole day to yourself!
Bob Conway, of WBBM was on overnights. PM drive on "All News 67 WMAQ" and at WLS in 1979 doing a newscast in the evening.
Easily, and I mean easily, could call jocks, etc. in early 1970's.
One thing I'm convinced of. Consultants wrecked radio. They out-consulted each other. You can look at stations across US, Canada, Australia, Europe, etc. All look the same, same "funny" jocks in AM drive, now too, PM drive tag-teams, etc.
Same logos, playlists. The diatribe: get the app, like us on.....
There's still good stuff, but ya gotta look. At my age, I still LOVE the formatics of Top40/CHR.
There's an old pic of me at 27 or so laying around, with a pie chart/Hot Clock drawing in my hand. E-Gad! I needed a life then. Still do. LOL!
Thoroughly love the discussion and what I learn here, almost daily.
