They called WXLC "For the Burbs" during the Star simulcast. WZSR still does.

I don't know about WZSR's coverage area, but I know Lake County generally doesn't like to consider themselves "The Burbs" Never heard that term there.

It's really just bad corporate programming decisions. Drew Walker and the local staff do a great job locally with what they have but some of these decisions really make no sense.

Alpha in other markets are just plugging in Westwood One. That would be a return to form for a lot of these signals, but they consider "Chicago" or "Waukegan-Kenosha" and "Joliet" to be too large I'm guessing.
