Yes, times go have changed. For the better? I do not know.

After WMAQ the Hawks were on WCFL, WIND, WBBM, WMVP and WSCR. Cannot think of any other team on so many stations. In 1980, Pat Foley non 1980 began his 25 year, play by play stint on WYEN. The Hawks had to find a new outlet that year because AM 1000 flipped to religion. Foley said he made $200 a game, about $823 in today’s money.

WYEN (106.7) started in the early 70’s, out of Des Plaines I think. It featured all request radio. I do not recall any DJs but recall reading a former DJ stated the call letters stood for Where You Earn Nothing.
