Radio's Impact in America - From WGN to Digital Era
Radio was a primary way for many Americans to get news and information before digital technology became popular. Additionally, radio was a way for people who were unable to access television or the internet express their opinions.
Chicago is home to twenty radio stations, the first of which began broadcasting in 1924. This includes WGN (World's Greatest Newspaper), owned by Tribune and started on March 29,1924.
Sears became a leader in radio with its Chicago headquarters, Homan Square and its mail order plant. WLS is the World's Largest Retail Store, a brand that Sears launched to capitalize upon its own. WLS quickly established itself as a leader in the Chicago radio market.
As radio stations expanded, they began to offer different formats. WLS shifted away from rural audiences in favor of the top-40. WCFL did the same thing shortly afterwards. Both stations began to lose their local appeal over time as others changed their format in an effort to gain new listeners.
In the early 1980s, FM stations were first introduced on radio dials. Radio stations on FM were heard more easily and had better sound than AM. FM was ideal for talk programs, which were quickly hugely successful and reignited radio as an entertainment and news source.

WGCI changed its format from traditional news to adult contemporary. WVAZ merged in with Clear Channel, and WVAZ was converted into an AMFM.
WGN changed hands again in 1999 when it was acquired by Chancellor Media and converted into a news/talk outlet, discontinuing long-running morning program Eight Forty-Eight. WGN remained the market leader until it was sold to Nexstar, in 2007.
Nexstar experienced a series of staffing changes after that transition. Bob Sirott replaced Steve Cochran in the morning drive, Bill Leff took over Wendy Snyder's midday duties, and Justin Kaufmann left Nexstar in the evening. Nexstar is focusing on recruiting new talent as it strives to stay competitive.
