Z I think you have a plan, B-96 needs a heart, I’m not sure what 104.3 even stands for.....what Chicago is missing is fun radio, all these programmers who are sales guys in disguise are missing the boat. The best morning show in Chicago radio is WGN TV) I always say what can radio do better than my playlist? It needs to connect and make people feel something. Why not do oldies on 104.3 go after WLS, Dave Fogle and Kim Berk are not that good. Put the score on 105.9 and use the signal to its full potential . Remember it was the knee jerk Reaction to the failed WKQX all news format that Caused BBM to simulcast on 105.9. That cost Rod Zimmerman his gig. I’m not sure what can be done at US99 it needs a new start. I’m not sure what you do with 670 but that overnight show could be a money maker, huge signal that no one is selling overnight. Sounds like a good place for classic country (at least at night) a good seller not afraid to make calls outside of the metro could make a station a lot of untapped $. But you have to pay talent, the kind of talent that can get off the air and get on local TV, make noise no one is doing that anymore.A bad Facebook live pre show is not getting the job done. Even in the day of rona I see former radio pros on ch 32. Name me one person on B 96, US99, or 104.3 that is to good to be replaced by VT or syndication. There is none. And that’s a huge problem. And it was that way pre pandemic.
