'Big 89 Rewind'

Larry Lujack kicks off star-studded flashback of Top 40 era on WLS



It's going to be a Memorial Day to remember when WLS-AM (890) turns back the clock to its Top 40 heyday and brings back some of its greatest stars.

Kipper McGee, program director of the ABC-owned news/talk station, is assembling a dream team of WLS alums for what they're calling "The Big 89 Rewind."

From 5 a.m. to midnight May 28, regular programming will be pre-empted for a Memorial Day spectacular starring Superjock Larry Lujack, Fred Winston, John Records Landecker, Jeff Davis, Chris Shebel and Tom Kent. All were part of the '70s and '80s rock era at WLS.

Also appearing throughout the day will be WLS news veterans Lyle Dean, Catherine Johns and Gil Gross and sportscaster Les Grobstein, among others.
 
WLS and WCFL were great radio stations and their enduring mano-a-mano in the Windy city is legendary. Personally, I preferred the Voice of Labor... Big Ten, WCFL. BTW, the call letters stood for "Chicago Federation of Labor." Looking forward to hearing the radio legends on WLS nonetheless.
