Wckg Radio

Used to be a good station, From it’s start. But in the end, Devolved into one of the worst stations in Chicagoland. Especially, With their «Free FM» gimmick which seemed to be more like «Radio Free America». Rover REALLY sucked as a comic DJ. THAT inevitably put the final nail on it’s sorry fate.

Chicago comedy talk radio is now officially dead. Sure, you can find Dahl on Jack FM now, and Brandmier on The Loop, but now there is music being shoveled into my ears the rest of the time. I do not know at this time what format they are switching to, rumors have it turning to a chick tune station like the Mix. While I certainly can’t imagine a world without the Goo Goo Dolls and Dave Matthews playing on 2 Chicago radio stations (I want to put an ice pick in my ear.), what happened to all the comedy talk radio fans? I own Sirius, but Howard is only on 5 hours a day, Opie and Anthony temporarily filled the void for a while when I was at work. Are you telling me the great tradition of Comedy talk in Chicago is gone for good? For now WCKG gets 1 star for dismantling the format.

Yeah, what’s with Rover? That’s the best they could come up with to replace Howard Stern? My six-year-old’s armpit farts are funnier than that. But I do enjoy Stan and Terry, I find Penn kind of interesting and I generally overrate stuff — 2.5 stars rounded up.
