Phil looked at the music log by chance and realized there was no more music scheduled. It was almost missed. No announcements, at all. What a sad event. WLS-AM was a totally different beast at that time, eons away of what they once were. Z95 was carrying on the Top40 mantle, but a few years later, ABC/Cap Cities would give up on ALL of their Top40 stations. That is where the WLS lineage actually totally died, a few years later.

He literally had half a second to pick a song and utter a few words. He did a great job..... finding out in a few seconds, that the end of an era was in front of you, having a few seconds to compose how to sum up 29 years, in a few seconds, on air. 29 years later, we are discussing it. Powerful.
