AM rules!

The two top radio stations in Chicago? Still WBBM 780 and WGN 720.

When I mention WGN to people from outside Chicago and I say it’s a “talk radio” station, it conjures images in their heads of what passes for talk radio nowadays, which is lots of blowhards getting their soapbox on and playing to some core political base.

But it’s not that, it’s actual conversation. The hosts talk to the other members of their team and they actually talk to the Chicago area residents that call in. No one is demeaned. Everyone’s contribution is valid and it’s fun and engaging radio.
