Came across the Summer 1988 issue of Chicagoland Radio Waves.

Included is a listing of the call signs of all the area radio stations and what they mean. Also the format of all stations.

Stan Peters is now 64. I hope he is still with us and I would love to know what he has been up to and what he thinks of the Internet + sites like these!

Thanks again for sharing.

I have a few of those laying around. Never knew who made and distributed them. I also have a few "magazines" that were Chicago radio based. I have to dig those up too.

Thanks for sharing.

I loved those Triad radio magazines as much as the then Reader.

The Reader is going monthly, but is a mere shadow of itself.
