Looks like WLS-AM is about as low as I can ever remember.

Pretty bad for WGN too.

Cumuless to the rescue.

How will it look for WGN after they lose the Cubs? Will it make any difference?

WGN dropped a full share 6 plus and they were 25th in 25 to 54. I don't have access to the dayparts, but I would imagine afternoon drive took a pretty big hit after the very popular Garry Meier was moved to their Internet stream and Bill and Wendy replaced him.

I also noticed WGN's low powered 87.7 had an abysmal book. Chicago does not need a third sports station when WMVP and WSCR,two 50,000 watt stations have that field covered. I don't understand why Jimmy deCastro didn't move Meier to afternoon drive there. Jonathan Brandmeier is already doing mornings, and I'm sure he is the one bright spot on the station. Just add another similar show for middays and keep the sports at night. This seems like a no brainer, but what do I know?
