: Longtime Morning-Drive Anchor Dale McCarren Dies
I worked with Dale at WBBM Newsradio for 14 years. Dale was literally one of the first people I met when I came to work at CBS in 1979. He was a radio professional, a bon vivant, and a true "man about town". Dale loved news, he understood the world, he read voraciously, and always felt we needed to do as much as possible to expose our listeners to what was going on in the world. He was a real student of world affairs, an avid yachtsman, and a guy who was always concerned with the new kids in the newsroom. And he was a very funny guy! Dale McCarren was a giant part of the history of WBBM Newsradio, one of America's great radio stations. And we shall all miss him.
