Concerning The Best Managers in Radio I agree with recognizing WGN Radio Chicago. I love radio listening and am passing the art and appreciation of listening to radio to my toddler granddaughter just as my mom did to me.
In fact I consider myself a radio snob. I am solicitous regarding who has access to my time and my wallet (I patron sponsors of preferred radio programs).
WGN hosts tend to respect their listeners, although they tend to lean liberal and not, as I am, towards Christian morals and values, I appreciate the hosts’ respect for listeners.
WGN is not disingenuous like Chicago’s WVON is to its primarily black listening audience. Nor is WGN like local NPR WBEZ that is 100% intolerant of reasonably and critically thinking conservative listeners, like myself. I formerly donated money to WBEZ in hopes to receive equal time, attention and respect given to all sides of important issues only to be disappointed.
I have not read your entire article, but wanted to share this accolade about WGN 720 AM Chicago’s Radio Manager
