From Beacon News
Chuck Schaden, host of "Those Were the Days" on 90.9 FM WDCB, will shut off his microphone one final time on June 27 following his last show for Public Radio from College of DuPage.
The old-time radio aficionado and Morton Grove resident is in his 39th year on the air. His program has had three homes, first at WLTD, where it stayed until 1975 before moving to WNIB in Chicago. When WNIB was sold in 2001, Schaden and the show moved to 90.9 FM at College of DuPage.
"Those Were the Days" has always had the same time slot, 1 to 5 p.m. every Saturday. The show will keep the same schedule when new host Steve Darnall takes over July 4.
