Melissa Forman and her crew were let go from WLIT, AGAIN! The market manager stated to a Chicago Tribune reporter that, "this isn't about Melissa. She did everything we asked her to do."

Still say they should sign Eddie and Jobo for their new morning show!!!
Clear Channel is too cheap to sign Eddie & JoBo. I don't see E & J on that format either.
If anything, Clear Channel will put on something off their "Premium Choke" format. They're willing to suck even harder in an attempt to save money. It seems to be working too. They only lost 20% last quarter.....Way to go "Clear Out Your Desk Channel"!

I agree but they'd have to be willing to work for very little.
This is not your parent's WLIT from 10-20 years ago!
It's not even "light" music IMO. The AC format has too much overlap.
This frequency has been known for "light" music for a long time. Perhaps a tweaking to go back to "true light music"? Would they even consider doing anything new or different given what the frequency has been known for over a long period of time?
(Please keep Eddie and JoBo off the Chicago air waves. They need to grow up and find something else to do... time to stop playing like teenagers...)

Where is the Lujack in morning drive and Hit Parade Radio going to land in the Chicago area?

That's what I've been wondering. Also, is there any firm date on when the DJs will start?

Sad, just sad. The third largest market in America. Premium choice, indeed.
Not sure I understand.
One minute people kvetch about "off the bird" programming - but then WANT a creep, doofus like Lujack backk on. He is a has-been. He won't ever come back here.
Hit parade radio is a satellite delivered format for 50+ age (boomers). Enjoy it while it lasts. Google it and hear a sample w/Loser and Wink Martindale.
Radio in the "3rd largest market" needs to cut costs just like everywhere else.

Gee one would get the impression you don't like Mr. Lujack. Just a guess.
Prais said:In my view, he is a urned out old fart with the same sarcastic bs over and over. He should retire and give someone else a chance. "Hit Parade" sounded very dull. Little excitement in the on-line demo.
Well if they ever start we'll find out.
I agree that this station has not been a "light" music station for quite some time. Once CC took over theyERP50kW said:This is not your parent's WLIT from 10-20 years ago!

did everything they could too lose the older Lite FM listeners. It would be great to see them go back to a true "light"
music format, but; I don't see that happening. If they are going to keep with the music they are currently playing,
maybe it's time to rebrand the station. The same way 100.3 finally figured out that "Love FM" hadn't quite fit their
format in a couple years. Do you think 103.5 would have kept calling themselves "The Blaze" if they had transformed
into an ez listening format? I can just hear the promos now, "The perfect place to relax and unwind THE BLAZE!!!..lol
I remember when the switched from Easy listening to an AC format as WLAK.
