My fellow Americans, our long national (okay, regional) nightmare is over.
In today's Chicago Sun-Times, radio/tv reporter
Rob Feder reports that an announcement of the return of progressive radio to the nation's third largest market is imminent:
*In anticipation of a format switch under owner Newsweb Corp., WAIT-AM (850) changes call letters today to WCPT (for "Chicago's Progressive Talk"). Picking up WAIT's call letters is Newsweb's WSCN-AM (820).
As tipped here in February, expect an announcement any day that the suburban daytime station will become a showcase for the liberal voices of Air America Radio's Al Franken, Jerry Springer and Randi Rhodes along with Jones Radio Networks' Ed Schultz.
Chicago's Prgressive Talk. I like that.
