In Reply to: WLS's new show. posted by Brian Stevens on March 06, 2009 at 15:46:37:
That is funny you mentioned this today. I turned the radio on this morning at about 3:58AM and heard a commercial that mentioned The Midnight Radio Network, it was a commercial for oil or something, but, mentioned the show and the voice was Eric Hurley, one of the co hosts of the show. I just assumed somebody hit the wrong button at WLS and that's why it was on.
The show has been around for years and is on big stations such as WBAP AM 820 in Dallas/Fort Worth and WSJ AM 760 in Detroit. The show is aimed at trucker's working midnights, it is a rather conservative leaning talk show. I think the show could work for WLS, with Chicago being a central hub for truckers. I still don't understand why WLS keeps messing with Coast to Coast, the show although not my cup of tea, is very popular. Why mess with success?
: I was just looking over the Program Schedule for WLS AM. I noticed that week nights, the 3:00 A.M. hour is taken up by something called the Midnight Radio Network. When I followed that link, it says that more information is coming soon. Me thinks the Coast to Coast fans won't be too happy with yet another hour gone from their alien and UFO discussions.
