… Draper had the concept of radio being theatre …
[Description by Uncle Ricky]
On June 12, 1979, the Chicago Federation of Labor sold WCFL, the only radio station in the world ever owned by organized labor, to The Mutual Broadcasting System. In August of 1979, Jack Miller produced this 30 minute retrospective which focuses on the programming and personalities on “Big 10” between 1964 and and 1976, when the format changed to beautiful music.
Jingles, airchecks and interviews from Jim Stagg, Dick Orkin, Joel Sebastian, Ron Brittian, Larry Lujack and veteran newsman Howie Roberts are featured. You’ll also hear a Capsule Countdown from 1967 in this excellent and all-too-short tribute to the great Top 40 years of The Voice of Labor.
