: More of their promos and such identify the station as "Chicago's WGN Radio 720," rather than "News/Talk 720 WGN."

: It's another, yet minor, change that the new PD is making to WGN, I guess.

Another thing I noticed today on the way home is that they're playing little promos just before the news. On WLS these sound natural since they're always played coming out of a commercial break or right after the newscast and have music, but on WGN it just sounds awkward, like the host is playing a little tape in the middle of talking.
