They was rockin' aht to Donnie Iris.
N'at.
I'm not even sure that's correct. The 2001 clubs did a lot of business for a short period of time. Then again, the whole disco thing didn't last that long in most markets. Just too hard to keep those white suits clean.
Steve Dahl packed Comiskey Park in Chicago with an anti-disco rally that ended up in a riot that forced cancellation of the White Sox baseball game. Not a lot of Donnie Iris fans there, I'm guessing.

No, but a lot of Rock fans. WLS was Rock-leaning in its later years as a Top 40 and don't forget that co-owned FM station WDAI was an all-Disco station for a while (which eventually became WLS-FM).
Pittsburgh (or, at least, Greensburg) had an all-Disco station in WOKU 107.1 (which won a Billboard award!), but the station was automated, and its signal limitations prevented it from being a real player.

Wasn't 96.1 Disco 96 for a while, right before KX?

IIRC, only from 7 PM to midnight.

Of course. My point was that anti-disco sentiment was hardly unique to Pittsburgh.

Milwaukee and Detroit come to mind as other working-class towns which had a notable anti-disco contingent.
