The jocks were union and not allowed to talk when SBS (new owners) closed on the deal, so for the last week or so, they just spun music they selected. I actually voiced the top hour ID for a few nights, called in and they recorded me "WYSY Aurora, Chicago"
When they finally pulled the plug on 70s based WYSY, it was "Engineer Bill" playing a loop of his own chosen music out of a closet. This lasted until SBS rolled out studios for WLEY and debuted their new format. From my recollection, was more than a few months. I think it was called Radio Bill.
Side note, Engineer Bill took his life some years later. He was well respected within his engineer and radio colleagues. Sad loss.
