Streetz 95.1 shuts down

I remember on my 1978 Bonneville Brougham beater, I had a 60" whip antenna that I could collapse/extend as needed.

Sidebar, but I had a '77 or '78 Buick Regal (company car... all the VPs at the parent supermarket chain got the same thing based on title) and it had an antenna that not only adjusted manually but also retracted when you turned the car off.

That was also a feature on the models and makes exported to Latin America and parts of Sub-Saharan Africa in that era, as the theft of wipers, antennae and hubcaps was rampant everywhere.

I had something similar on my 1991 Honda Accord. The antenna went up when the radio was turned on; it went down when the radio turned off. Occasionally in cold weather, the antenna would get stuck on the way down.

Because the operator put out a press release and told me he was ceasing his lease of it. I NEVER said the translator was going off the air, but rather that Core was ending its LMA.

Thanks for the clarification. The headline suggested the brand itself was completely going away ("Streetz 95.1 Chicago Shuts Down"). Someone is still operating the station under the Streetz brand. I realize you had little to no way of knowing that it would be sticking around after all and were perhaps led astray by the press release.
