There is a special airing of the Roe & Cisco Show on WLS-AM tomorrow afternoon. The show will not be coming from within WLS studio walls, but instead be broadcast live from the Chase Bank Auditorium. WLS will be hosting an Illinois Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Debate, moderated by Roe Conn & Cisco Cotto. The debate begins at 4:00pm and will feature five of the six Republican candidates for Governor: Adam Andrzejewski, Bill Brady, Kirk Dillard, Dan Proft and Jim Ryan. (Andy McKenna has chosen to not do any debates this week.)
This debate is open to the public -- no tickets or reservations needed. The Chase Bank Auditorium is located in Downtown Chicago at 10 S. Dearborn.
(Hopefully it will be fully disclosed that Dan Proft has been a paid political commentator for WLS-AM, most often on the Don & Roma morning show.)
Before tomorrow afternoon's debate, the same five out of six Republican candidates will take part in a one-hour forum on WTTW's "Chicago Tonight" program this evening. The live show will not have a studio audience and will be more subdued in comparison. The forum begins tonight at 7:00pm. ("Chicago Tonight" had the Democratic Candidates for IL Governor on last night.)
