All News KNX here in Los Angeles is live (and local) all night.
 
I believe all 3 of the Hubbard-Chicago stations are live -- The Drive, WTMX and Rewind 100.3 -- also WXRT is still too!

WTMX has had Mike Roberts as their overnight jock since the early 80's! And that was before the station was known as the Mix and even had those call letters at a time when the station was playing a soft AC format

It's fun listening to him announcing the likes of LMFAO and Martin Solveig considering he has been in the business for so long!

Also there are usually other jocks on the overnight shift during the weekends on his days off. On a rare occasion they may go without an overnight host, but that is usually on holiday weekends for the most part when that happens.

Also WGN, WBBM-AM and most likely the new news format on 101.1 FM are also live and local overnights. I also believe CHR's WBBM and WKSC have live overnight jocks, the latter as of a few years ago. I'm not sure if it's every night, but I do believe they are live most nights.

I guess we can be thankful Chicago is one of those markets that at least have a fair number of live and local overnight stations in town as it wasn't always like that, with the worst period being through much of the mid 90's to mid 00's.
 
I believe WARH is live and local 24 7. I heard one of the fill-in DJs overnight one morning as I was getting up on KBKS as well, but not sure what they do now, I only listen to one station in the mornings. KOMO also used to have someone live and local overnights, but now I guess they're running reruns of their midday shows.
 
WPCV in Lakeland FL , WMNF in Tampa, and maybe WUSF in Tampa.

Hard to tell, it sounds like 92.9/ Ocala uses a inexperienced/ college jock overnights during the weekends. Not sure if its Live or VT'ed. Or just somebody from the TRS staff.
 
What happend to WTRS's Joe in the 7-12 Mid slot weekdays?
There could be another topic devoted to who is on 7-12 Mid live as that slowly seems to be dieing too.
