Larry Lujack, Gary Meier, Steve Dahl, WLS Chicago February 22 1983, Pt. 1 (0:48:30)
… It’s a great tradition that morning drive should sound like a cluttered mess …
[Description by Uncle Ricky]
Larry Lujack welcomes FM co-workers Gary Meier and Steve Dahl. Part One of this ‘scoped exhibit includes segments from 5:30 – 8:21 AM on Mayoral Primary Day, February 22, 1983. There are some truly classic lines from Superjock here. On the difference between the coverage area of WLS-AM and WLS-FM, “the AM’s like your first wife, you can pick her up almost anywhere”. On why Steve and Gary should be on Larry’s show, “it’s a program here at WLS to force everyone to like each other.”
Larry offers a review of Eating Raoul, and there’s an extensive discussion of ABC exec John Gehron, his wife, and other managers and employees of the radio station. There’s no question that these are three of the most successful voices in the history of Chicago radio, and at the time, all doing very well and tolerating the proximity of each other.
