When the corporate owners of a liberal talk-radio station in Chicago bought property in rural McHenry County a few years ago, they acquired a studio and four towers, as well as an unlikely addition to their broadcast family -- a pair of cows.
Elsa and Lollipop graze peacefully in the field behind the WCPT studio, unfazed by the battle for ratings, advertisers and air time. They've become beloved, cud-chewing pets.
The station's handful of employees don't mind when they have to slip on boots and trudge out to the pasture hauling buckets of feed.
The cows are owned by Cocker's company, Newsweb Radio, which operates "Chicago's Progressive Talk Station," WCPT-850 AM. The station broadcasts liberal-leaning, nationally syndicated shows from a radio tower that looms over the field where Elsa and Lollipop graze, near McHenry County College. Leasing space in the building are two stations owned by NextMedia -- Y103.9 and Star 105.5. Cocker fills in as a weekend host on Y103.9.
